Phase IV hits the MidWest...

[MMBBfan327]

Just got the news from my tech that Rockford's in the process of Phase IV...lucky for us, the stage stays, however every other gem about the place is history :/

After that Madison gets the purple, and unfortuantely there's a possibility I'm gonna lose my favorite 3-Stage, leaving only 1 left in Wisconsin; LaCrosse.

I forgot the other stores getting it, I belive it's Green Bay, Janesville, and Gurnee...and then my store (Brookfield) getting it in April.

That sucks, the nostalgic gems were great! Its good that they're still keeping the stage, its the only one left.

Sounds like it's approaching the point where hardcore fans need to do a little dumpster diving. I think the classic stuff should be preserved, I mean... come on! That's the coolest stuff!

Well, it's like walls being torn down and the salad bar being revamped...not like any parody posters or albums. Those are long gone...

Is the CEC in Rockford keeping the house stage for the Studio C format if it gets one?

WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Madison is trashing their 3-stage? NOOOOOOO!!!

I thought they're only remodelling places now, not taking shows out anymore. Has Milwaukee and Racine got their remodels yet? Or are they staying the same for a while? Gurnee is a newer store, and really doesn't need any kind of remodel. What are they going to do there? Just paint walls purple? That's about all they have to do to phase IV it!

Are we refering to Rockford, IL and/or Madison, WI?

Darryl...wtf?

When stores get a new stage, what do they do with the old one?

[MMBBfan327]

Well, the Madison (about the SHOW) is just a rumor...but a very big one.

Not sure about Gurnee, but yeah it's a newer (and SMALLER) store!

I'm not sure with Racine, but Milwaukee is untouched...the only new things are games and some new pics (like "King of Games" or whatever the stupid thing is).

And Darryl, you need to read the posts carefully!!! All the answers are right there, man! :))

Some of the parts get shipped to other stores, and some get trashed, and thats when you want to go dumpster diving!
