As to our previous discussion regarding 311's worthiness to headline a festival and ability to draw a crowd?
Looks like I won.
They pulled 7,000 (less than half of capacity)

Omaha.com : A proud homecoming for 311
In all fairness we have been under a rather bad heatwave. I rather doubt than even a huge national act could have filled the stadium. I know there have been many days I wish I could have gone as $15 is a steal, but not in 115° heat indexes. Same with many of the people I know.

But the planners cannot blame the heat when they scheduled the event in late July.

Yet Coachella can bring 100,000 to the desert to see bands when it's ACTUALLY 115.
And 311 Played at night.

Your said a key word there, "desert". a 115 heat index always feels worse than a 115 dry heat. Also 311 did not play at night, it was at 6:30 in the evening.

Well Pretend Journey pulled a crowd the previous night,so all you really have are excuses.
311 couldnt sell out half of a cheap show in their hometown.

It's 2011. Someone tell 311.

Journey is also a MUCH more popular band, so for them to draw a larger crowd is expected. If you had read the link you provided you would have known that the crowd 311 did pull in was a large crowd for them.

And all you have is criticism. I have yet to hear ONE positive thing from you on anything. If anything you seem to be enjoying putting this whole event down.

Nor do you have to say anything negative about it. I can now see the kind of person you are and will NOT be replying to your posts again. Good day!
