    There was a VIP pre-party thing in the press box. The space is huge. There's an area with a full food service stations just like the ones downstairs. The space has is the width of the stadium, one side has windows looking out into the parking lots then the tiered work areas of the press box. Good views, as you would expect.

    I was down on the field for the concert, maybe about the 10 yard line...hard to tell had a metal flooring down to protect the surface.

    Egress was SUPERfast for the whole building. It was a full house and not 5 mins after the end of the show the upper decks were clearing out way faster then they did at Giants Stadium.

    Aside from make a memory which I hate anyway, he literally played every Bon Jovi song I like except for Always. Keep the Faith, Wanted dead or alive, You give love a bad name, Livin on a Prayer, Bad Medicine, It's my life, I'll be there for you some new stuff. He's no Bruce in terms of showmanship but he still puts on an awesome performance.

    If you're a lady seeing Bon Jovi it's almost a guarantee.

    Not a chick but you gave me a good idea. Rain = chicks in wet t-shirts. Maybe a little rain isn't so bad after all.

    Even better, and a damn good point.

    You should sell $5.00 clear ponchos to women in white shirts.

    I'm not a huge fan, only went cause they were front row seats (well, 3rd row...we got to take home our folding chairs that had the Bon Jovi logo on it) and I recognized most of the songs.

    The encore was i think a song from the new album and Dead or Alive and Living on a Prayer.

    The audio cut out 1/2 way through runaway but they kept on going without missing a beat and it cut back in.

    New stadium is awesome,however...

    I definitely feel it caters to corporate types 1000% For BJ concert I sat in mid level mezzanine w acess to restaurant lounges where you needed a PSL level ticket to enter.(It was not open to public) Fast forward to football season and these lounges/clubs will entertain people that will want to watch the game on TV while drinking Martinis and stay cool in summer and warm in winter. Oh yeah, this lounge was carpeted, had little mini restaurants with food like 6.00 pizza slices, 10.00 sushi plates, 10.00 sausage sandwiches, 8.00 to 10.00 beer. Little cocktail tables and couches. Very nice but I really don't see hardcore Jets fans hanging in these lounges and paying those prices.
