Live Nation confirmed Monday that Spartan Stadium will be a part of the tour, which was rumored last month.

Spartan Stadium can hold up to 75,000 people and university spokesman Terry Denbow said the university and the community will come together to facilitate the influx of people coming into East Lansing.

“There’s logistical challenges to things like this that people don’t even realize,” he said. “(The university and the community) know how to come together to do things both effectively and efficiently.”

University spokesman Kent Cassella said a committee met last week for its first meeting regarding the concert. The committee will continue to meet until the details are worked out about concert specifics.

“(There are) a lot of questions that don’t have answers,” Cassella said.

The university and the concert promoter are working together to put on the concert, and it will be staffed through the Breslin Center and Spartan Stadium staff, said Greg Ianni, senior associate athletics director for facilities and sports management. Ianni said the concert will operate similarly to football games. The only major renovation to the stadium will be replacing the turf after the concert, an expense covered by U2.

“Their setup will damage the turf to the point where it can’t be fixed,” Ianni said.

Fans such as English senior Michael Mazur already are waiting for tickets to go on sale for the concert. Mazur has seen the band three times and plans to attend the concert this summer.

“I’m a really crazy U2 fan,” he said. “I intend to get general admission tickets and camp out as long as it takes to be No. 1.”

Some said the increase of people in East Lansing will stimulate the economy, especially during the summer months when there is less student activity.

“East Lansing is familiar with hosting a big number of people just because of football games,” said Tracey Shepard, manager of marketing and communication for the Lansing Regional Chamber of Commerce. “I think it will mean substantial economic opportunities for the region, especially in the summer months when businesses don’t have that student population to work off of.”

Some venues for the concert already have sold out, but tickets will not go on sale for most North American concert dates until November. An exact date for the ticket sales has not been specified. General ticket prices range from $30 to $95, and seating positions can be found on the band’s Web site.
