LOL!!! My buddy and I said the same thing when we were in NYC. Also I noticed it in Chicago, Toronto and Seattle. Maybe people of "color" only like concerts where you can't understand what they're saying?! I dunno. Does it really matter? And I know you're not trying to be racist but your comment at the end of your email about the price of tickets insinuated blacks are poor. Again, lol.

There was a distinct lack of (shall we say) diversity in the crowd at the stadium. Of all the U2 concerts we attended, that's the first time I've seen that. I can honestly say that I could count the people of color I saw on ONE HAND out of over 65,000 people - discounting the people working there. Was it the same in other venues? Not trying to be funny but I saw 10 times more black people at a Travis Tritt concert I attended recently. That bothers me because I know the actual fan base is very diverse. I don't know ANYONE black or brown who DOESN'T like U2. Tickets weren't that expensive. So I can't think of another reason we saw what we did. Any thoughts?
