I have been working on my new Jimmy Buffett standee. It's going to look like the model on the right. Some of you may recognize the one I'm retiring...he's been at 3 concerts in Frisco and it's time for an upgrade. Come by and get your picture taken with Jimmy.

It appears we will have sold our RV by the time Frisco rolls around. How difficult is it to get Uber pick-ups around the tailgate area to get back and forth to hotels in Frisco or Plano? We need to figure this out ASAP so we can reserve a tailgate spot for our car.. Uber works great here...use it a...

It looks like parking is going to be tighter than usual at Toyota Stadium. I was out there a few days ago and the grass field on the east side of the stadium, where hundreds of cars and RV's parked in the past, is now all torn up. It appears they are putting foundations in for commercial businesses.

Here is a good article about the upcoming concert.

Just wondering why its taken so long to confirm Frisco.
Usually it is one of the first ones announced.

My guess is that the opening act may be the hold up...but we will know either Monday or Tuesday.

It looks like the announcement will be made around Feb. 20th. And I have no idea why it is taking so long to make the announcement...frustrating!

It should come in the next few days, from what I'm hearing. I've been trying to figure out who will open for Jimmy. ZZ Top, who had to cancel last year is open the entire month of June, and Huey Lewis and the News who opened for him a few years ago, is also open all of June. I'm betting on ZZ Top, ...

That sounds great...would love to! Sent you a PM.

WOW, just got 2 tickets (from a friend that goes to the casino regularly)!! Heading that way from the Dallas area. Anyone tailgating anywhere? How cool is that?!? Good for you. I wish I had friends like that! We tried to win tickets via a Sirius XM contest.............I guess we didn't win. Have Fu...

I'm wondering who will be the opening act. Last year ZZ Top cancelled and Jerry Jeff Walker filled in. Personally I was fine with that - been a big Jerry Jeff fan since the 1970s, along with Jimmy. ZZ Top is OK, but when you've seen them a dozen times, its pretty much the same old act. Huey Lewis a...

Don't worry, he will be in Frisco on June 10th!

Last year's parking rules say $100 for weekend but you can't leave lot. We are not bringing RV this year, have to drive up early Friday morning. We're staying in a hotel, we have to leave the lot. Where are we supposed to park for the tailgate? Does anyone have any contact info for whoever has that...

Great job in getting this info Parrothead69...now we have two sources that support this date! LET THE FIN BEGIN!
Parrothead69, hope you join us this year!

Here is what I have confirmed from my source (not particularity new, but confirmed):
- Jimmy Buffett is coming to Frisco this year
- It will not be Memorial weekend, it will be June
- Announcement will be in a few weeks.

Plano - Looks like more digging may be needed. The Comfort Suites and Hampton are playing the annual Buffett Weekend games already - Comfort has everything blocked from 5/25-5/28 and the Hampton has upped their rates to almost double the usual. I wonder if the town is dancing with us because the pu...

I can't wait to see when the new date will be.
Again, congratulations and thanks.

You have to give credit to Texasgator for getting it started!

Found this on the Visit Frisco website, http://www.visitfrisco.com/event/jimmy-buffett/38/, saying that Jimmy Buffett is playing Toyota Stadium on May 27, 2017. Maybe it's wishful thinking, or perhaps they have info that hasn't been officially released yet? Capture12.PNG I sent the following messag...
