[QUOTE=skcin;786955]I think much of this has to do with the promoters. For some reason, only certain bands come through Buffalo - Stevie never comes here solo for example, but she always goes to Pittburgh & Cleveland.
I am a bit perplexed by the Mac Rochester date, but no Buffalo. Mac has hit Buffalo
every single tour since 1977 (maybe not Mirage? I'd have to look it up.) Maybe cuz it's in March & hockey's still going on? I dunno.

I don't get it either. Springsteen played Rochester and Buffalo this year so maybe a Buffalo date will get added later but I doubt it. Springsteen can draw more fans than the Mac at this point and could get away with the two shows. Stevie I believe played in Buffalo in 1983. I believe the Mac has missed Buffalo a few times since '77 - they played Tusk here in 1980, and if I'm not mistaken, didn't come back until The Dance (and then of course for Say You Will). The Mirage Tour didn't come this way and I'm fairly certain the Rick and Billy years didn't come here either. Maybe during the Time era they got here somewhere but I can't recall.
I'm definitley annoyed about no Buffalo show. When they played in '97 they were the fastest selling event in the Arena's history (okay, so it was barely open a year at that point but still....) and I believe they had a sell out here in '03. Oh well, I am planning on show #1 in Pittsburgh instead.
Edit - can't be because of hockey. I've been to concerts at the arena in March (in fact I saw Springsteen there last March). Must be a stupid promoter leaving B-lo off the MacMap.
