I think of areas they could play....RFK would use more electricity....Merriweather probably couldn't accommodate nearly enough people and most likely would have the same accessibility issues as Nissan...and there was a campground location they tried back in 2001 which was flooded out. They have an entire section of their site dedicated to the decision making process, which will apparently update as the tour goes on with indepth information on their attempts to go green on a venue by venue basis. It's worth a read.

I still can't wrap my head around the ultimate decision to play at this venue---only accessible by car on a "Green Tour" That is cool, BTW. I still can’t wrap my head around the ultimate decision to play at this venue—only accessible by car on a “Green Tour”

However, it looks like LiveNation's making it up. I shot their customer service e-mail a message, detailing the troubles I faced...and they're sending me complementary tickets to Radiohead's show in Camden, NJ (near Philly) on 8/12. Kind of a class move, imo.
