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.

Word on the street has it that to celebrate Easter, WTPA 93.5-FM will be "resurrecting" famous dead musicians, playing off that whole resurrection theme of Easter. Makes sense, right? I'm sure this won't offend ANY religious folk at all.
