do you? my google is on the Internet

I googled it, duh. The only thing I can find is taht it is part of the UMBC campus. Nothing about seating, capacity, or location on campus.

Mapquest or Yahoo's directions.

Neither are perfect sources but they've helped me get around DC, which is no easy chore when you don't know the town. (They've gotten me lost too.)

just google umbc fieldhouse+capacity. Capactiy for the place is 4000.

my suggestion is save your money and go see The Dirtbombs and The Sights at the Ottobar on 11/6… you then have enough money to see The Cynics, The Von Bondies, The Woggles, etc when they come in town.

the following is scarastic… i wonder how that drum sound they spent some many hours to find in the studio will sound in the umbc fieldhouse… i'm guessing it will have a bit more reverb in it.

A fieldhouse?! I thought this was supposed to be a warm-up club tour. What a strange (and poor) choice of venue.

the strokes are gay.

and thats really all i have to say on this friday morning. (for now)

i would love to hear their rendition of Hava Nagila!

LOL…they're still using this shitty venue? Guess I'm officially starting to feel old. Last show I saw there was the Ramones with Frank Black opening in 1994. It's at the University of Maryland…a bit smaller than Bender Arena. I think they did some work on it or something, but it was pretty gawd awful when I saw that show. Plus I had trouble finding it. Anyway, that's one show I think I'll safely pass on. I'd rather save my dimes to go to NYC to see Echo & the Bunnymen…got my tickets yesterday. :)

didn't they play dar last time? they need a new booking agent or something

Where would you guys suggest they play? Of course they're going to go with a larger venue where they can make the most money. Five years from now, they'll be reduced to playing places like JAXX, and their fans will have moved on to some other flavor. Better make the $$ now.

Bunnyman, I think you're talking about the great Ritchie Coliseum in College Park, which was my favorite local venue until 9:30 came along. Never saw a bad show there.

Of course I meant the new 9:30. Concerts at Ritchie were always crazy. The rundowness of the place I guess leant itself to that.

Gay guys have all the luck, getting to kiss Dwew Barrymore and all that…

I helped bring many of those scary shows to Ritchie. Loved the place other than the bird crap and dealing with the University to get barricades and other things done.

But UMBC is also the University of Maryland in Baltimore county. It is a similar room to what Ritchie was (they totally renovated it for the worse), but bigger. Much bigger, Ritchie could hold 1800 (well officially less but that is what we sold…).

Here, here!

The girls think the singer is sooooooo dreamy though, and that seems to be all that matters these days.

Yes, that's certainly never happened in the music industry before.
