Re: Who's Going to Chicago/Tinley Park June 27th, 2015?

So.... Since I bought tickets to see Jimmy and not any opening act, does that mean I can remain in the lot until 840? Or will they start ushering people in once the gates open @ 630? I've heard them say this, but it isn't enforced really. It's a numbers game at that point. Too many people hanging o...

Re: Who's Going to Chicago/Tinley Park June 27th, 2015?

Im just saying.... If you like staying late, the last train to the south burbs leaves just before Midnight. Plus any Chicagoan never goes to Navy Pier unless they have out of town company. :D Tinley Park to Navy Pier on Metra/CTA would be a hassle. Especially for somebody from out of town. Lots to ...

Got my rooms at the Holiday Inn... first time we're doing this, usually we just go home.

Re: Chicago 2015

If history dictates he will play June 27th. He's played the last Saturday in June the last 3 years.
(2 in Tinley Park, and 1 in Northerly Island)

That works for me.... Then the Grateful Dead 50th Anniversary at Soldier Field the next weekend.

Re: Let's encourage Jimmy to play Red Rocks next summer!

I was at his last Red Rocks show... 1990. He had played Fiddler's Green a number of years prior (partially due to it being owned by his record label MCA at the time). He was signing his book Tales From Margaritaville at a local mall winter of 1989, there were tons of people there lined up for hours....

LN also owns the venue on Northerly Island. So, at this point it could be either place.

What time does the Holiday Inn tailgate start? It's going to be our meeting spot this year before going to the lot.

So happy to be back in Tinley Park this year...

Re: Frisco Texas 2014

Pardon my butting in. :) I know you all are hoping and excited from previous shows. Being in the Denver area - we were 8 years between shows. And folks on the West coast have been hit or miss in the last 10 years. One must always be grateful for what you've had in the past, which is often more show...

Re: Chicago 2014

Nothing beats the VIP parking option at Toyota Park.
Huge space, picnic tables, and a short walk to other parking lots.

Money well spent at those shows.

Re: Chicago 2014

What's with the hatred for Tinley Park on this board? Since Toyota Park is more than likely out of the question those of us looking to attend a Chicago show will likely be presented with two options. First Midwest Bank Amphitheater (Tinley), or First Merit Bank Pavilion (Northerly Island). I am a b...

Re: Chicago 2014

I'm hoping for 6/28 in Tinley. Northerly Island is nice, but it doesn't work for me for a Buffett concert.
Toyota Park is off the table due to it not being a Live Nation venue.

Re: Chicago 2014

Not to mention that he's tied to Live Nation as are most performers. Northerly and Tinley are both Live Nation venues. Toyota Park is not. Live Nation spent big $$$$ on the "improvements" to Northerly Island and wants to fill it all summer.

Re: Who's going to Chicago, 6/29/2013?

You will not be able to see the stage from the lawn. There will be video screens, but no hill or viewing elevation. Imagine 22,000 people on the floor of an indoor arena. You can search Northerly Island artist rendering for details.
