I think its more of a case of wanting to be there opening night, than it is to see FF.

I bailed. Will see the joint another time. Looking forward to that.

Agreed.  No luck getting FWB tix.  Not sure if I'm disappointed or relieved.

Well, I'm going to Paris just to see Foo, so clearly I am excited for this show both for the band and for the opening!

I can't wait to see the Anthem.  Just need the announcement of a show by the National or the Shins or Courtney Barnett/Kurt Vile or Queens of the Stone Age or…

Just got an email informing me I was overcharged for my Foo Fighters tickets and I will be receiving a refund "for the amount mistakenly charged beyond the base ticket price and service charge." I'm guessing they mean the $3.95 delivery fee for a will-call only show.

Seems to be general admission floor with seats (some VIP/reserved) in the balconies.

Tickets will definitely be above $50 to see Wilco there.

anybody think about what the impact of Anthem will be on other non-IMP venues?

I'm thinking we'll see an even worse lineup at the Fillmore Silver Spring.. although I'm not sure how the costs of operating Anthem will play into it..

also i  would think the days where DAR had many shows will be over..

Anthem fills a gap in the DC venue space.  With a max capacity of 6,500, it will attract bands who are to big for DAR, but who can't sell out Patriot Center or the outdoor venues.  Maybe it'll draw shows away from Strathmore?

6500 capacity with mostly standing? As if it's not already hard enough to see anything at other smaller standing venues. This sounds worse.

Pass.

It'll probably just feel like the Aragon in Chicago, which is 5,000 capacity. In reality, we DID need a venue this size. Or at least with the flexibility to hold that many people.
