i'm holding off for summer 09

Bono did say somewhere he liked stadium shows better than arenas, so i reckon it would be the same leg format as with the vertigo tour, so European dates would be in the summer.

Stadiums are more open? That'd be my reasoning.

For example, compare Seattle's Key Arena with Melbourne's Telstra Dome. The Dome is way bigger than the Key Arena - and might have better acoustics.

Stadiums sell more tickets which means more dollar

Three million tickets sold on the first leg alone.

At $100 a crack, that's 30 million dollars. I wouldn't mind that. They almost made a million dollars (if not more) on the last Vertigo leg.
