Setup for Bigger Band Tour

September 26--Setup now underway for The Rolling Stones concert at Cessna Stadium.

Getting ready for The Rolling Stones is no easy task; that's why hundreds of workers have been recruited to help the school set up.

Monday morning workers started off with the catering tents, and worked to unload the 12,000 chairs that will go on the field. The parking lot supplies are also stacked up, waiting to be put in their place.

To set up the main stage, The Rolling Stones have their own manpower. Starting Wednesday morning, 70 semi-trucks will pull up to the stadium at Wichita State, where the band roadies will take over from there.

What many students and fans are not excited about, is the parking and traffic mess the concert will create. However, to see the band play in person, is worth it to ticket holders.

There is still no word on who the opening act will be, but the concert's promoter says when it is announced later this week, it will be huge news.
