Default Saw Bon Jovi at the new Meadowlands last night

Great concert, they really put on a show. My wife and I really enjoyed it.
Stadium is HUGE!!!!!!! Very nice. Can't wait to see some football games there!!
Giants/Jets in 2014 superbowl!!!!!! unlikely but would be really cool.

I was wondering how nice the new place is, since being a Vikings Fan I REALLY want to go to the Giants vs Vikes very badly.

Bon Jovi kicks ***!

Saw them twice at the old Giant's Stadium, once at Continental, and once at Prudencial Center! All awesome shows!

Who opened for them Mark?

Train sucks...

Last time mary and I went Big & Rich opened... that was AWESOME!

Rochie is getting a bit fat dude. Saw him on tv a few weeks ago... chubby ******. John is no stop the whole time, always puts aon a great show. Like I said, I saw them 4 times, and I would see them again without thinking twice about it.

Speaking of acts that I like. I will be honest, before I met my wife, I NEVER, EEEEEVER! Listened to Country, or like JL likes to say. Whatry. She likes it and for the car ride I can deal. Welp going forward she got tickets for Toby Keith and Trace Adkins and Toby was ok, but I REALLY liked Trace.

He put on a very good show, during the sets his hits often were made into Videos and played on the big screens.

Like said, I have not been a country fan but he is someone I would see again. In the lat couple of years I have gotten to see some cool bands like KISS, The Eagles, Third Eye Blind and I hope to get to see a few more. The next biggest one I would want to see as I do have much of their catalog is Goo Goo Dolls.

Brad Paisley put on an awesome show with Dirks bently and Jimmy Wane last summer. Awesome show!

I was not a fan of country either, same as you, my GF got me into it. I can't stand top40 now-a-days. I may be 27 but if its not from the 60's and 70's... maybe 80's its crap to me. Zepp, Floyd and the likes. Bon Jovi obviosly, but aside for country, I can't stand todays music.

i worked on the new stadium for a few months in 09. i was there way before the seats and field were even started, let alone done. i did see the 4 screens go up. then, as the story goes, the owner of the stadium walked in, looked at it, said 'dallas's screens are bigger. take these down and put up bigger ones'. so they did......more work for the men.

the zipper is cool. so is the restaurant where you can sit by the window, eat, and watch the game.

the worst thing about it are the outrageous season ticket prices.

Ahhh memories of cruising around Seaside in the summer with two friends in my Mustang LX 5.0 convertible cranking 'Keep the Faith' as we prepared for a wild Sunday night at the Surf Club.

I like Train, I enjoyed them wed night and I like their music.
I can't see me getting into country music but I wouldn't mind that Carrie Underwood for an hour or two.

Glad you enjoyed it. Our company built the entire stage and all the video walls you saw.

Clarification:
Mustang LX 5.0 = Ford Model T
Bon Jovi - Keep the Faith = Louis Armstrong
Surf Club = Speak Easy
