Overview
- The K-pop group plays Stanford Stadium on Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday in its Arirang World Tour, with all three nights sold out at about 53,000 fans per show.
- Stanford has set prepaid parking and campus road closures, with general gates at 4:30 p.m., concerts from 7 to 10 p.m., and short fireworks bursts during the set plus a finale each night.
- Caltrain is adding a post-event northbound train from Palo Alto and will run two K-pop-themed trains to the Tuesday show for fans traveling to the Palo Alto Station.
- The venue is cashless and enforces a clear-bag rule with bag-check sites outside, and prohibited items include large non-clear bags, professional cameras, noisemakers, drones and selfie sticks.
- Early merchandise sales opened Friday and drew long lines as fans spent on city-specific gear, while hotels reported near sellouts and officials projected an economic lift similar to Coldplay’s estimated $2.5 million in taxes last year.
