Prince of Tyrus Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 This is the first time RUSH has played in Austin, TX in 10 years. The Frank Erwin Center will be set for Theater Stage. According to the venue staff, it will accommodate slightly less than 7000 people. Just curious if anyone knows if they will play anywhere this small on the rest of the 08 tour. I went to several of the shows in 07 and I would have to estimate that the average crowd was between 11-12,000. It just seems weird that the set up in Austin would be so small. RUSH is huge in TX and everyone I know will be going to all three TX shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EveryNerveAware Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Not sure if Austin is the smallest venue, but the KC show at Starlight has to be one of the smallest at just over 7,000 seats. That is strange... Austin and <7,000 seats...?!?!? I would think they could easily fill a 12,000 seat facility in Austin, TX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusher Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 People are saying the Atlantic City venue, of which I am going to, seats around 6000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowdog2112 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 It's actually been 14 years. The third show of the Counterparts tour was the last in Austin in 1994. I've just heard recently about the new stage arrangement which would explain the lower capacity. While it would probably make everybody's seats better it would be kind of sad after seeing them several times there when the whole arena was packed.

keakag Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 If you look at the pictures of the Theatre setup at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, there are two different setups. One has more floor seats than the other. the larger one looks to me like more than 7,000. I'm really looking forward to the show, even though most people I know couldn't get lower level seat.....don't get me started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonghitsforjesus Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I'm there! Didn't know about the Theater stage set up, so i hope Section 5, row 7, seats 13 & 14 are good! Let me know if u guys are meeting anywhere in particular, and we can raise a toast to the greatness. Peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
