Jay-Z has ten shows left on his Blueprint 3 Tour, but has decided to extend his run through 2010. He has been touring and performing at a mix of 26 college arenas all across the country, including Pennsylvania State's Bryce Center, UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, Northern Kentucky University's Bank of Kentucky, Eastern Michigan University's Convocation Center, and the University of Massachusetts' Mullins Center to name a selected few.
