AC/DC fans will be glad to know that Fargodome staff won’t simply say “Baby, Please Don’t Go,” if nature calls during the band’s concert Saturday.
Dome General Manager Rob Sobolik said finding a toilet will be much easier than during last April’s Jon Bon Jovi concert. He said staffers will go with the flow and turn some men’s loos over to the ladies should the situation require it.
“We do have a plan in place,” Sobolik said.
It’s dealing with parking where event-goers might find a challenge, Sobolik said.
He expects Fargodome parking spots to sell out thanks to the snow and cold and
AC/DC merch is projected to go through the roof. He said late-arrivers will be directed to the Fargo North High School/Carlson Coliseum lot a few blocks east of the dome. Some parking should also be available on the North Dakota State University campus, he said.
Sobolik is expecting a slightly smaller crowd – roughly 21,000 – for AC/DC than the nearly 25,000 who turned out for Bon Jovi.
He also predicts a more male-dominated demographic for AC/DC. That should mean shorter waits at the women’s restrooms.
Bon Jovi attracts a high percentage of women to his audience, and that led to lines that seemed like a “Highway to Hell” at the available women’s restrooms during the April concert.
Sobolik said the 26 restrooms throughout the dome – 13 for each sex – meet building codes for the size of the venue.
After the bathroom controversy last spring, Sobolik said the dome would consider using portable bathrooms for major concerts. However, because of cold temperatures, Sobolik said the dome won’t put out portable biffys this Saturday.
To speed entry into the dome, Sobolik reminds AC/DC fans with paperless tickets to bring the credit card they purchased the ticket with and a photo identification card. Sobolik urges those fans to use the eastside entrance, where most of the ticket readers and the box office are located.
Sobolik said the parking lot opens at 4:30 p.m., the doors for the concert open at 6:30, and the concert starts at 8.

AC/DC, Flight of the Conchords, Blink-182 and Radiohead
AC/DC fans in Peoria, Illinois rallied this weekend outside the city’s Civic Center, hoping to convince the band to play the arena for the first time in 1983. A local radio station organized the event, and a video and petition from the rally will be sent to AC/DC today. “We’re going to prove to AC/DC that we’re out of our minds,” said DJ Matt Bahan.
