In this experience you and your guest will shadow U2's tour producer for a day that will allow you to:&lt;br&gt;
- Spend a day backstage directing the show preparations for the biggest band in the world&lt;br&gt;
- Be a part of the planning and managing the days schedule&lt;br&gt;
- Troubleshooting from set up through sound check to the crowd arriving and the show itself&lt;br&gt;
- You can even watch the show from wherever you want!&lt;BR&gt;&lt;bR&gt;
Tour stops that are available to choose from are:&lt;br&gt;
September 13, 2009 Chicago's Soldier Field&lt;br&gt;
September 21 Boston's Gillette Stadium&lt;br&gt;
September 25 New York Giants Stadium&lt;br&gt;&lt;Br&gt;

Long-time U2 Show Director Willie Williams has worked again with architect Mark Fisher (ZooTV, PopMart, Elevation and Vertigo), to create an innovative 360&amp;deg;  design which affords an unobstructed view for the audience. U2 360&amp;deg; also marks the first time a band has toured in stadiums with such a unique and original structure.
