It's the standard edition, which is fine for most people. …

Super Bowl Week in Minneapolis officially kicked into high gear as its newest concert venue (rehabbed to life in one of downtown’s oldest buildings) The Armory hosted its first proper concert as EA Sports Bowl presented Imagine Dragons. 

Stay tuned for a more detailed report, but we wanted to get the setlist, pictures and initial notes up as soon as possible. 

The red carpet was filled with numerous sports and culture celebrities and the venue itself is overall impressive and holds approx. 8,400 – a perfect niche between places like the smaller Roy Wilkins and the twice-as-large Target Center and Xcel Energy Center.

Opening act Machine Gun Kelly surprised the audience by bringing up hot hip-hop trio Migos mid-set, playing an hour-long set alternating between slicing verse and shredding guitar. 

Instead of being bored watching the set change between acts, EA Sports hosted game competitions that saw Jamie Foxx face UFC Flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson on the just-released UFC 3 game and New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara face Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in a game of Madden 18.

Imagine Dragons brought their arena-ready sound to a venue half the size, connecting with the crowd on tracks from the new record, as well as previous radio favorites.  K. Flay even joined the band on stage mid-set, for their re-imagined ‘Thunder’ and singer Dan Reynolds gave a heartfelt speech about depression before the band’s ‘Demons’.

All in all, a great night at a promising new venue—stay tuned for more details!
