The U2 press release said "In order to accommodate the New York Jets, the NFL and the state of New Jersey, which owns the stadium, and out of respect for U2 and Jets fans of Jewish faith, U2 agreed to move their show."
OT-but U2 found out about the "conflict" in April, when the Jets moved the schedule. They have said that someone "forgot to check" for conflicts until the show got rolling on the road!!! Thats BS!

As to back on topic-I have been working with the LurkerII on a resolution!!! (It took about 3 minutes for a response to start working on it with me...talk about S-E-R-V-I-C-E!!!)
