I have no idea why, but Kansas decided to do a gig at this new "venue," about 20 miles east of downtown Philadelphia. It is the newly constructed home of the Philadelphia Freedoms tennis team (Venus Williams is a member) and is an open air tennis court with bleacher-type seating. The bizarre thing is that the facility is built on the parking lot of the King of Prussia Mall, the largest shopping complex in the USA in terms of actual retail space (the Mall of America in Minnesota is the largest in total square feet, but that includes a combined amusement park). I happened to grow up a few miles from the mall, so I know the site very well. It was a bit surreal to watch Kansas perform there, with cars whizzing by on a busy road less than 200 feet away.

P.S. Yes, there really is a town named King of Prussia. I lived there from age 5 through 18.
