Thanks for posting that link Livia. It was about this time last year exactly that we started to get a few dates.

Cool!!!!

So, they are playing the smaller venues as promised. I hope they play Lakewood in Atlatna and not Chastain Park. Chastain Park SUCKS for handicap people and my guest is handicapped. Basically, at Chastain Park, the handicap people that cannot stand (which is all of them) are forced to pay the highest ticket price and then watch the concert on the t.v. above them becuase where they are parked is not high enough to see over the people standing in the ten rows in front of them

I am keeping my fingers crossed!!!!!!

Thanks Livia~~~

Thank you for the news and link. I'm hoping for a few changes in the set list. Not betting, just hoping!

Feb.7,2003? A great day (I find out that Fleetwood Mac is FINALLY coming back to OKC, A decent Tax refund and nice winter weather) ruined by a fractured tibia (Which STILL hurts every-now-and-then)

didnt know you were an Atlanta fan strandinthewind...

I saw Stevie at Chastain twice on her TISL tour....and while its nice and all...that would be TOO small for Fleetwood Mac...Chastain only seats around 6950 people....including the very small lawn...

They would most likely play Hi Fi Buys Amph (lakewood) if they play a shed here...although Id prefer to see them back at the Arena at Gwinnett Center but thats just me....

Chastain is nice for some shows, but it wouldnt be good for Fleetwood Mac....the people who see shows there want to drink their wine and eat their crackers not watch a rock show

they also have a new sound ordiance at Chastain now...the concerts cant be that loud anymore...because the neighborhood folks around the place complained

Im lookin at the website for the University of Illinois Assembly Hall and it seems like that would be the COOLEST place to see a mac show...the pics are awesome

The site says tickets will go on sale February 14, for you IL folks. Bring on the rest of the dates!

Assembly Hall is not a small venue. It is on par with the other arena's that the band played in 2003. With an Endstage set up it will probably have a capacity of around 14,500. Assuming they lose about 2500-3000 seats behind the stage, but gain 1000-1500 on the floor.

What is different though, is Fleetwood Mac venturing to a college campus for a show. Also, top ticket prices for this show are down from $125 to $95. FYI, Madison is a college town too.
