On tomorrow my wife and I are going to go watch U2 play at Qwest field, can I carry or do they have metal detectors and such that will prevent me from carrying? The idea of being in that part of Seattle without a gun is not a pleasant one.

Thanks guys.
 
What does your state statutes say about carrying in large venues? It may be on the list of no no's.

So, I guess the questions should be, "how long is this concert?" and "are they selling standing-room-only tickets?" :D
