yes Bender is the gym on AU's campus. Holds about 5000, with bleachers set up on each side and large open floor in the center in front of the stage, which allows for gathering near the stage a la the 930 or for lurking in the back with more room to move around and dance, if you're so inclined. It's an OK place for a show, not great. The sound bounces all over the place. Shame, though, that with all the fees it'll cost $47, even with the two decent headliners. They should've just held off on this tour til next summer and played Merriweather. Which is probably what will happen anyway.
