Thunder/Concerts

[mark]

What are you people talking about? RATT is going to be at Riverwind...and Farmers Market , though cool place, is way too small a venue for AC/DC or Chicago.

looking at the seating chart, riverwind holds about 1500. don't know if it's true, but i was told the casinos limit the time a performer is on stage. i'm sure the farmer's market could hold about 1500, but the only venue in okc i can think of between riverwind and the ford center would be the zoo. zoo is summer only, and i thought i was going to die when i saw zztop out there last summer. don't know how many acts go to the civic center but i don't think you'd be seeing ratt playing there. we need a nice theater about the size of riverwind without the smoke (sure, no smoking in the theater, but the amount coming in from the casino can be bothersome) and a venue that will seat 4,000 for mid-size acts (like chicago). the biggies like ac/dc will have to stick to the ford center, but we need them here, not going to tulsa. like i said above, i can't see going to a show like that in tulsa on a weeknight.

and, of course, a promoter to bring in the acts.
