I do wonder why the alexander stadium isnt used for these gigs.
Re the Arctic Monkeys stadium tour next summer, Birmingham is conspicuous by its absence. Coventry seems to be the midland offering. Imagine Manchester being overlooked for Leeds though, it just wouldn't happen.
The Villa Live idea intrigues me. I live in London and off the top of my head there’s been big gigs at spurs stadium and artic monkeys next year at Arsenal. Birmingham should also be on this merry go round of stadium gigs and villa park is the only logical location. Beers before at villa live then a north stand that enhances a stadium concert could bring in a fair chunk of money for the club.

Won’t they be rebuilding the North Stand next summer?I just mean Brum being overlooked generally which seems to happen a lot as we know. If an international act is on tour in the UK, London and Manchester tend to get first dibs (south and north "fashionable places") while Birmingham, being in the middle and "unfashionable" often gets left-out. And I've seen that happen when an act is doing 6-8 dates across the UK too.

It's more suitable than our place and there is proven model for getting people to and from the stadium via the shuttle bus. I was near there on Friday and noticed that a lot of the infrastructure is still in place but they looked like they were removing the hardcore from the area where the shuttle buses were dropping off.
Elland Road is a dump, but the space they have that could be developed if they got their arses in gear is something.On a another note, their bus shuttle service from the station and back is quite something, and precisely what we need.
