Irvine, CA

Post by MerrickBill »

There are rumors out there that Jimmy will be performing at Verizon Wireless in Irvine. His other SoCal shows aren't very good for tailgating. How is Verizon Wireless? I really want to go to a show with great tailgating this year. Is Irvine the place?

Irvine is the best place for tailgating. Unfortunately the lot doesn't open till 3pm, which limits the time for tailgating. Several years ago, you used to be able to get in around noon. The police have become very strict here regarding alcohol. I had a margarita in a solo cup and they made me pour it out...now I grab a big gulp or XL In-N-Out cup with lid and have my margaritas in it and I've had no problems...

In 2011, the Coral Reefers made an appearance in the parking lot to take pictures and sign autographs...Margaritaville foods were giving out free samples of Margarita Mix, chicken wings, and shrimp. They also set up a t shirt stand in the parking lot so you can get your shirt before the show.

Jimmy really likes Irvine. He always seems to really put on a good show there. I've been to almost every show there since 1990 and I've always felt they were better than one's I've seen in Vegas or San Diego.
1ST CONCERT: SAT. AUG 6, 1988 - PACIFIC AMPHITHEATRE, COSTA MESA, CA - LOGE 11 SEC 2 ROW U SEAT 42 $20.35

Thanks for the info. Some of the other local Parrothead clubs have similar information. They seem like a reliable source. I just wish the concert would be listed on the Margaritaville tour schedule. But I'm optimistic. Looks like there will be tailgating in my future!

Can you please explain to me why it's "The best for tailgating"?

I guess I should clarify...it's the best in southern California. There is no tailgating in Santa Barbara or Hollywood, and San Diego, while nice, is very mellow. Irvine brings out the people, motorhomes, decorations, and the shows always sell out which mean a big crowd...especially this year since it's on a Saturday. The parking lot is huge with the motorhomes and cars sharing the same lot (although the motorhomes are on the west end).

I hope to see you there. Stop by my parking spot during the tailgate and I'll give you some food.
