Re: ***Official Don't Screw Colorado In 2010 Thread***

Not from CO and most likely will never see a DMB show there, but the question I have is simply this: Denver seems to be a great market for DMB, so why do they skip it so often? Even shitty Riverbend in Cincy gets a show ever year. Denver has plenty of appropriately sized venues, so that's not the issue. WHAT IS IT?

    In my opinion I think the answer is simple, not a appropriately sized OUTDOOR venue.

    Red Rocks is too small to hit every year. No other outdoor venues to hit. Yes they could always play the pepsi center but I would think its availability does not always fit with the summer schedule.

    Terrible name aside, what's wrong with this venue?

    The capacity of 18,000 is a bit of a push. I would say more like 16,000. The amp itself is pretty much a pie hole in my opinion and many other colorado fans of outdoor venues. The venue also has a VERY stict 11:00 curfew, which I know has nothing to do with way the band does not play there.

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I believe the main reason they have never played there is promoter. Chuck Morris pretty much says when and where dave matthews band plays in denver. I believe he is not a promoter of this particular venue.

    I thought curfew was 10:30. Every show I've seen there has been shortened or had the plug pulled on it.

    Used to be 11:00. It has been years since I have been there though so I would not doubt that it is 10:30 now.

    Yes, it would appear that way.
