Official Moline, IL 2016 Thread

saw my first concert (that I'll admit too) here, Bush, Razorblade suitcase tour. Then Tool many years later. Nice to have them within easy driving distance for once.

Who's pumped?!?!?

    I feel like it's such a small venue that even a bad show would be a good show. I think I'm going to take a stab at it. Count me in.

    Posted in alpine thread too.

    I live in Davenport, IA right across river from Moline. Nice little arena. 12k capacity with the floor.

    Pearl Jam played here two years ago, great show.

    Mostly country acts and the occasional former big name (think the Eagles, motley Crue, etc) Venue is in a nice little downtown area with quite a few bar/restaurants in walking distance. Couple hotels right there too, but I bet they're booked.

    There is uber in the area, so many options of lodging within 20 min uber ride.

    Local guy here. Live just across the river in Bettendorf. Venue is nothing special but a nice place and super excited the band is making a stop.

    Much like the above post, I'll say there are quite a few nice places for beers before the show. Nice downtown. If anybody has questions about the arena or surrounding area feel free to pm me.

    Pit here I come!!

    This will be a nice little appetizer for the wife and I before the main course at Alpine.

    Pumped to see DMB at a new venue.

    Beers are cheap compared to large market ballparks/venues. Went to a major concert there couple weeks ago and I think domestic drafts were about $6 for a 14 or 16 oz. they also have a bar with mixed drinks.

    Just a forewarning, after the show is over that place is a zoo to get out of. Better off staying in your seats post show then to try and squeeze through the corridors like cattle

    Tons of hotels within a 10 minute drive. Uber, and a nice downtown area. There are a couple local breweries as well between downtown moline and downtown davenport

    Seating chart for the arena. If you click on the section it will show you a view from your seats. Assuming it will be an open pit

    In an arena this size there really isn't a bad seat in the place. Obviously it is a smaller venue and living 5 minutes from the venue I never thought we would get a show. I'm so excited for it and here to help anybody who's got questions about the venue or downtown Moline

    I'll try to help answer questions too. Still can't believe they're playing here. I'm taking the whole week off for this and Alpine.

    It holds anywhere from 9-12k. I have seen some awesome shows here over the years. And like I said, never thought this band would make it back to Moline.

    Going to be a great 1-2 punch with moline and then Alpine weekend.

    Anyone think this could be a test for future years of the band steering towards smaller venues?

    If this was a weekend date I would be there....

    In using this as an excuse to see an extra show, not get too crazy, and get warmed up for Alpine.

    It's great for me to have a show 5 minutes away, regardless. I was planning on St. Louis as a one off if the moline rumor didn't come true. Now I'm open to DC instead. Was gonna spend my money on Alpine x2 and St. Louis. Now I can save the money of a St. Louis trip and look into the Creek

    If you have never hit DC, do it. I consider it a second home after AV.

    Looking forward to the tour - this show will be a great way to warm up for Alpine.

    Will it likely be difficult to get good tickets for this show through the Warehouse?

    Should be fairly easy I would think. I'm equating it to Des Moines last year. I scored pits to Des Moines last year on the instant ticket release. I'm assuming Moline will be a lower demand show and instants will drop
