Yeah. I also meant, like Pellaz also brought up, that it's very uncommon for a date in every single state, or even the 48 contiguous ones.
As for the "I guess you never paid attention in school", fun fact, I've been at College level academically since 3rd grade.

Yeah, well along w/things that please OTHER people, the Oakdale has also had Motley Crue, Queensrcyhe, Fates Warning, Dream Theater, etc.! & Bushnel has had concerts there, I just don't recall which bands! & the Meadows amphitheratre in HTFD would be a great venue for a REAL Metal fest. Unlike OzzFest, uh, I mean Nu-Metal fest!

You fail to understand that Iced Earth does not have the drawing power of Motley Crue, Queensryche, Dream Theater, etc.

If the venues would use the site:EventFul, they's see just how many REAL Metal-Heads there are here!

A quick search of demands in Connecticut on Eventful reveals that the highest METAL request is for Hellyeah with 89 people.
A bunch of REAL metalheads in Connecticut, eh?
Not enough to sell out a show of the size you're suggesting, for a band like Iced Earth or Blind Guardian.
(I've done quick searches of RI and MA out of curiosity, and found Hellyeah is also the most "requested" Metal band in those two states, as well. In comparison, RI has 62, and MA has 241)
While I'll admit Hellyeah isn't the best representative of the Metal community we're referring to, they're the highest Metal band on each state's demand list, since Mudvayne and Korn aren't metal.
