A concertgoer’s dream– and possible commuter’s nightmare— will hit town Oct. 1 when the Rolling Stones’ crew’s 70 tractor-trailers arrive to prepare for the Washington-Grizzly Stadium show three days later. The trailers will invade Missoula for the sold-out Oct. 4 show, which will include a high-tech six-story stage towering over the legendary British rock quartet and 21,490 adoring fans who paid a minimum of $95 per ticket. The grandiose structure, reaching higher than most buildings in town and reported to resemble a miniature city, has a massive monitor screen at center stage and a six-foot runway leading off the stage down the middle of the floor crowd. The stage will require a minimum of two days to build with the help of 200 production crew workers. Traffic and parking along the north side of UM campus will undoubt- edly be interfered with, including the closure of Campus Drive for the better part of the week, but details of the exact schedule of the building process have not yet been determined. Preproduction meetings will be held Sept. 7 and 8 with UM Productions, the Rolling Stones’ promoters and Public Safety. UM Productions is still working out the details to a contract “rider” that deciphers how many cranes will be used to erect the stage, the cost of food for the crew and catering to the Rolling Stones’ demands, Kevin Hoffman/Montana Kaimin according to Gale Price, director of UM Productions.
