I've been a fan of U2 since the mid 80s. First time I was able to see them in concert was at Soldier Field for the Pop Tour (awesome - still the best concert I've ever been to). I was expecting to have a fantastic experience at the 360 tour at the new Cowboys Stadium - bitterly disappointed. Not U2's fault, the venue is simply not appropriate for concerts (might be for football games but definitely not concerts). The acoustics were so bad, I coundn't figure out what they were playing (yes, that bad!). I asked those around me and they had their hands up in shock as well. When I realized they were playing Magnificent (half-way through the song), I wanted to cry. I couldn't stay there and listen to such warbled versions of their songs and I left. I paid $100 bucks for my seat (not from a scalper, Ticketmaster, well maybe a scalper at that). If anyone has any connections to U2, please tell them to steer clear of Cowboys Stadium. I know they care about their fans and if they had known what a horrible venue Cowbows Stadium is, they would have gone to American Airlines center in Dallas instead and played 2 or 3 nights. I hope I will get to see U2 again in concert (in a better venue - refuse to go to Cowboys Stadium ever again). Will try to get refund for my ticket as this was a miserable experience. Hopefully the acoustics were better in other parts of the stadium so that no everyone left disappointed.
