T-Mobile Arena is a sports arena in Prague, Czech Republic. It is primarily used for ice hockey, and is the home arena of the HC Sparta Prague but is also used for music concerts. T-Mobile Arena opened in 1962 as Sportovní hala and holds 12,950 people. Also, every year it is the venue of a very prestigious synchronized skating competition.

Formerly called Sportovní hala it was renamed in 1999 to Paegas Arena, and in 2002 to T-Mobile Arena.

Is this accurate? Anyway, pretty big arena. What was the largest venue they played in Europe in 2007 (besides the huge festivals)?

I don't think it will. The only times the server crashed was when there was still only one forum, and not sub forums.

It's still the same server, and if there are enough people visiting any forum, it could crash. Last time that I remember it crashing was 10/4/07 during/after the Normal, IL show.

But I don't think it'll crash today.

[Floppy Nono]

so is anyone confirmed to be reporting on this show or are we just begging at the dinner table for scraps at this point?

They *have* to play Siva now:

If Mr. pepper isn't completely crushed to dust (to or pepper?) by the show, he needs to report back.

[MisterSquishyHalo]

[Sebastian]

[JRiordan]

Can anyone confirm the news reports that rebel loyalists to the former Czechoslovakian regime have taken over the Capitol building and hung this new flag?

What is the English translation of "Sportovni Hala"? Is Sportovni someone's name, and thus it's "Sportovni Hall", or does it just mean "Sports Hall"? Anyway, how big is it? Please report on how the crowd and show were!

it means Sports Hall. Surprisingly, people over there still use their language while naming the places. Pumpkins played the same venue in 1997. The capacity can be adjusted. The maximum is around 12,000 , for Pumpkins in 1997 the capacity was reduced to like 5,000 - they simply built the stage in the middle of the arena and half of the arena was off-limits.

Since it appears that the venue has been renamed a few times, I was wondering if SPFC was accurate for that show or not.

Wikipedia could also be wrong. It says it was renamed to Paegas Arena in 1999.
