American Idols at BOK Arena

[marc]

I just wondered if anyone here went (or knew someone who did) and how the acoustics turned out, considering the comments in the Eagles and Kenny Chesney threads.

Newschannel 8 mentioned that it was sold out.

It was great.

I had completely different seats than when I went to the Eagles so I can't comment on the acoustics.

People say I don't listen well anyway.

The show was part over the top wresting introductions and folksy audience banter from the singers. Several singers reflected on this last show together and talked about what this tour meant to them.

Krysty Lee Cook was stunningly beautiful and wowed the crowd. Syesha Mercado was my favorite. I think she is going to be a major break-out artist. The crowd went wild for the two Davids, and could have raised the roof when David Cook came out.

The crowd was at least half full of children. It was a great reason to bring the whole family downtown. My kids said it was one of the greatest nights of their life.

It was a show I would see again. It was well-produced. The singers all had the same kind of desire to be as strong as possible. They sang as if they could be voted off by the audience after any song.

I had a great time. The sound was great, atmosphere was great, all together great.

I agree, I had a great time as well. I am extremely impressed with everything about the BOK Center. The show was a lot of fun, and David Cook was awesome.

My wife and I went to this concert and set in the seats right next to the club seat and I cant say enough about how much better the seats are in the lower section compared to the top level, much more legroom!!  The show itself was a blast and the sound and video board looked very nice and done well.  I also tried out a burger from Billy's and that was one of the best burgers Ive ever had!!!

Supposedly 80% of the events will be confined to the lower bowl or at least mostly so and during those full arena events, only half the seats are in the upper bowl. So basically, only 10% of people at the BOK Center will use opper bowl seats, so that is why all Arenas, like ours, go smaller on those seats and widths. In actuality you are only talking about a couple of inches difference but it can seem to make a big difference.

It was also drier on the lower level. You had to dodge all the trashcans and buckets on the higher levels catching water, due to the leaks!

There are leaks this early?

Somehow I smell a drive-by naysayer...I think I'd have heard about that fairly early on, considering it rained during the Kenny Chesney concert also.

I was at the club level for the Saturday night show and I didn't see any leaks.

But it wouldn't have surprised me that there were some leaks somewhere in this massive facility. There was a tremendous amout of rain coming down and it was the first real test.

If there were leaks, I am sure they are being fixed.

Were you there Saturday night? ..... I was, and the building leaks.

[TURobY]

I was there, I didn't see any leaks.

Yep, drive-by naysayer.

We were there and didn't see any leaks but my brother in law told me that he did see a section on the upper level where they had big trash cans catching the water and some guys were mopping up the floor.

Bucuo was right.

[TURobY]

Any idea where? I walked around the whole upper bowl and didn't see anything. I had an hour to kill, so I did some exploring. Not saying there wasn't a leak, just that I didn't see anything.
