The folks over at Sovereign Bank Stadium have announced the first non-baseball entertainment at the new York Revolution home. July 2 will see fireworks and a performance by the York Symphony Orchestra, and Aug. 26 will be called Faith and Family Day and feature a concert by Christian rock band NewSong.
This is good news and all, but it's important to note that both of these events are attached to actual ball games. You want to hear YSO? Buy a ticket to that game. Same goes for NewSong. I guess they're testing the waters over there to see if they get a boost in ticket sales on those game days to show that people really do want to see other forms of entertainment there. I know I do.
We can only hope that they will soon be bringing us live entertainment without having to go to a ball game to boot. This would finally mark the first potential large outdoor concert venue other than the York Fairgrounds, which, in all honesty, really just isn't used all that much outside the month of September.
I know that the entertainment planners were hoping to nab Blind Melon (whose guitarist is originally from Dover) to perform the national anthem at Opening Day, but sadly that didn't pan out. Regardless, if that's a sign of things to come, I'm in on the revolution.
