On Monday, December 1st OneRepublic lit up the stage, continuing their 2008 North American tour in Akron, Ohio. The group preformed at E.J. Thomas hall of Akron University. This hall is a 3 level auditorium, along with a seating capacity of 2,955. One of the most fascinating features of the building is it’s 44-ton movable ceiling, which can close off either the Flying Balcony or both the Flying Balcony and Grand Tier creating a one, two or three level auditorium. Spectators of this tour were also lucky enough to see the likes of The Spill Canvas, The Hush Sound, and Augustana preform.
