madge headed to petco

ut street says madonna will be playing petco on november 4th, her first san diego appearance in 23 years (wow). this is the first concert at petco since the rolling stones show in 2005. let's hope madonna has more than 5 songs in her this time, unlike her 2006 coachella "performance".

considering the dreadful state of the padres (4-17 in their last 21 games), the city should try to maximize use of petco through concerts and other events to get some extra revenue - i'm not spending a dime on that team until they at least make an appearance of trying to improve the team (impact roster moves so far this year: none). it's interesting that there's been no shows there since 2005. now if they could just figure out a way to incorporate petco into street scene's hopeful return to downtown...
