Capitol Federal Park @ Sandstone's opening show was a success. The Killers and Wild Light were a perfect match for the perfect weather. With hundreds of calls pouring in all week regarding weather policies, the fans were prepared for the worst weather conditions. However that did not stop some die hard fan from lining up at 7:30 am for a 7:30 pm show.

The VIP club opened an hour early allowing fans with a VIP Experience pass to enter the facility early to enjoy drinks and DJ Kirby from Mix 93.3 before the show. Waiting at the entrance to the facility from the VIP club, these fans were ready to get their up front view of The Killers frontman, Brandon Flowers.

Opening band, Wild light set the tone for a wonderful night. No lightening needed to brighten up Cap Fed Park's stage, The Killers production left many in amazement. With their Vegas style flare, The Killers kicked off the show with their hit Human and continued to rock out hits that everyone came to hear.

Some fans however did not want to be in the lower section and expressed their disappointment in the closed lawn seating. Due to The Killers request Cap Fed Park @ Sandstone restricted access to the lawn, but allowed all fans to enjoy the upper seats at their leisure. What is typically sold as a reserved seat, was open as general admission. Several fans opted to upgrade to a box seat for the show for a more private experience with wait staff.

Behind the scenes our cleaning crew worked hard to keep the facility clean, our recycling team worked hard sorting trash and everyone worked hard to maintain our green initiatives that we strive so hard to maintain. Throughout the parking lot as well as the venue, fans respected our initiatives and placed their empty beer cans and plastic bottles in our recycle containers.

Right before The Killers took the stage one fan said to me, "I'm so glad Sandstone is back." We were honored to kick off the second season as Capitol Federal Park @ Sandstone with The Killers. It was a success and we are ready for the remaining shows in the 2009 season.

Cap Fed Park's season opener received Kansas City Star's, Tim Finn's seal of approval in his review in Back to Rockville, "Sandstone christened its 2009 season with a bright, seismic blast. (The Killers) are loved by music fans who appreciate good rock anthems and who like to have a great time hearing them live."
