Shiny and new, like a freshly minted gold coin; more luxurious than a pimp’s RV; more HD sets than Mark Cuban’s bathroom. Where all the top-o’-pops acts play, if that’s what you call the Eagles and Dave Matthews Band; also, very sportsy. Still, it’s a tad too big for the little people, who sit high […]
