One of the three "claw" stages built for U2's 360 Tour has been purchased by the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Salt Lake City. Founder and CEO, Brent Anderson reflected on first seeing it during a concert in Barcelona in 2009, "I didn't even want to walk into the stadium. I was kind of holding up the line because I just wanted to look at it and take it in. I didn't really view it as just simply a functional piece of architecture. For me, it was a dynamic sculpture. It was a work of art." Find out his plans for it here
