This should be a great even in the Twin Cities. The arena is currently filling up. I'm not sure when it will start, but this crowd is amazing.

12. Standing-room only crowd?

How many people does the Target Center hold?

[MadBadger]

13. 20,000 are in attendance

[City Lights]

17. I see that. I was trying to figure out approximately how many in

attendance don't have seats. I'm amazed that in a place that big there still aren't enough seats. It's not really important though...:hi:

My sound keeps fading in and out. x(

20. Yeah, the audio could be better for me, too.

I'd prefer if they showed photos with the audio and had good audio, instead of

showing video with the audio and giving us bad audio.
