Help! Need a PA for Citi Field Gig!

[Spent]

My band is playing Citi Field on August 1st and our sound guy can't make it. I'm hoping there are some TBers in the vicinity who have a lead on a good place to get a PA. Any help would be greatly appreciated. We do have our own PA, but no one to run it. We'd rather have it supplied, but if need be we can bring ours.

Might help if you told us what Universe, Galaxy, Solar System, Planet, Continent, Country, State/Province, County/District and City/Town this Citi Field of yours is in?

Not a baseball fan, I take it?

Didn't know you had to be a baseball fan to run sound . So, the OP has a PA that can cover 45,000 people ? Our "city field" holds about 1000 close friends - and I happen to be booked in there on August 1st.

Old Shea Stadium in Flushing Meadows, Queens, for which Citibank now has naming rights, hence "Citi Field". Home of the Amusing Mets.

@Spent - doesn't Citi have a PA provider given they've had concerts there (or their own)? I would think their event service could point you in the right direction.

If you don't know, you're obviously not in the area.

We're going to be by the entrance in the parking lot prior to the game, not in the stadium itself.

Actually only 3 hours away so not entirely out-of-the question to do - but I have a gig that day. But I'd be a Red Sox fan if I was into baseball so the Mets suck .

Nice gig. If I didn't have a business trip that day, I would stop by (Let's go Mets).

I like the Mets, but I'm a Red Sox fan. Can't stand the Yankees.

What time and exactly where is the gig? I am going down to Long Island that day, maybe I can stop by to listen (unless I have to pay $22 to park).

 

[Spent]

I think we're starting at 6:00. We're playing for an hour before the game starts.

Prosound.web, forum will find you a sound guy ...

Shea Stadium was torn down several years ago, right after the completion of Citi Field. The two structures were so close together it seemed they were almost touching.

Amusing Mets my @#$~@%~^~.

Just swept the Nationals, and seven game lead. I've suffered for far too long, and I passed the disease on to my son.

Shows you a) not an Amusing fan, except when Willie Randolph went there, and b) the last time I watched a baseball game.

They've been in first place since our gig. Coincidence? Maybe.
