Repeat: the venue seats ~15,000 in the seating configuration Fleetwood Mac used for the show (
http://www.qwestcenteromaha.com/Book...yProcedure.pdf ) The venue may have been staffed for 15K in attendance (anticipated attendance figures for shows are often included on the event info sheets distributed to ushers/concessionaires/etc), but there sure as hell wasn't anywhere near 15K in attendance (even including all the comps).
I'm happy the show happened, especially (of course) for everyone in attendance. I realize it can be a bit pedantic to discuss the attendance in hindsight- its my instinct from my experience with the field, coupled with my passion for this band to be successful in what they do, that drives me to discuss and analyze it. Based on the posts on these boards, I know I'm far from alone.
