slash97 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Hey guys. I've been following the NITL tour and have of course been enjoying it immensely. But I have a question. Which of the shows had the biggest attendance so far (estimating of course). And in your opinion which crowd was the best/loudest so far (if you can measure that at all)? I know this is not really important, but I'm just curious what you guys think about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdriftatSea Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The NRG stadium in Houston had over 50k. No idea about other venues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draguns Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The loudest crowd and best vibe had to be at MetLife, July 23rd. It was great! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman5150 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Although it didn't have the best attendance, Axl himself said the crowd in Pittsburgh was the loudest he ever heard anywhere on kohd. 2 nights later he even told the philly crowd how loud Pittsburgh was. MetLife night 1 was sold out, not sure about concerts, but for football it holds around 82,000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draguns Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Regarding MetLife, it holds 50,000+ for concerts. Football is 82,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holographic Universe Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Mexico. No doubt. American audiences are tame compared to the enthusiasm of different countries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This show sold around 40,000 tickets and It sounds like there was many more than that In attendance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl has the most incredible stage presence doesn't he? So funny when he said, "Thanks for stopping by" too! Also funny when he stopped for the broken piano key, the way he did it. He was calm. Twenty years ago he would have thrown the piano bench in the crowd and walked off stage I read in one article. I don't know about that. You certainly could see his sense of humor shining. We were on the 10th row from the stage. Was fantastic! Edited August 15, 2016 by AdriftatSea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockphantom Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX was jam packed full of fans. I'd say there were over 70,000 people at the local GNR show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may have been more in attendance at Detroit but Pittsbugh was definitely louder and it is an open air stadium as opposed to the dome at Ford Field. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear you were able to attend both shows. Being from Pittsburgh myself It was nice to see the city show It's appreciation of the band. I attended the show In L.A. on Friday night and the crowd was dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah periscopes of Fridays LA show showed a lot of sitting people aka statues cause they hardly moved! Now SF may have only had 40,000 people but everywhere I looked everyone was standing for the entire almost 3 hr show! Dancing, swaying, singing...awesome crowd! Glad I was a part of it and so damn thankful I was surrounded by standing hard core fans even in the seats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I was a part of it and so damn thankful I was surrounded by standing hard core fans even in the seats! I hear you. It certainly makes for a better environment when people are up and moving. I am sure the band appreciates It and most likely feeds off of the energy of the crowd but as I mentioned before, there was no energy to feed off of Friday night and It was evident In the streams as you mentioned above. The majority of the U.S. crowds are beyond pathetic. I can't wait to see the reaction the band gets when they arrive In South America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
