Plus, www.alpinestaff.com states that there are 5 shows scheduled for the summer

Re: Alpine Reopening
I have had hope for Alpine even with the Wrigley show. Saturday in Charlottesville I got to chat with Mike Utley and I said I know you will know, should we expect an Alpine announcement soon. With 0 hesitation he answered, we aren't doing Alpine this year, we are doing Wrigley.
I am gonna live my life like a song.....

Well that sucks. Wonder who the last concert to be announced is though.zedagyrl wrote: ↑April 4, 2018 2:55 pm I have had hope for Alpine even with the Wrigley show.

Guess I'll settle for Wrigley, but I'll get tickets close to show date when people dump them.

Re: Alpine Reopening
Plus Des Moines kind of kills the need for Alpine. Wrigley is probably supposed to cover Chicago/Milwaukee, and Des Moines is probably supposed to cover everybody who usually travels east to Alpine.

Who is Mike Utley? I looked it up and all I found was the former Lions player who was paralyzed during a game.

Re: Alpine Reopening
I've had a playlist sitting in my iTunes library since December 2016 called "Buffett Tinley 2017." Obviously it has still yet to be played at either Tinley or Alpine...

Re: Alpine Reopening
Looks like no Alpine this year. My sources that were so confident a few months ago are now booking all reservations and do not have a Buffett weekend planned. A little off topic but I wonder if Jimmy realizes the economic impact his concert has on the surrounding area? All the little bars, restaurants, and campgrounds are usually packed for 3 or 4 days. I know myself I spend at least $500 that weekend not including the price of admission. Just a little rant and I hope my sources are incorrect. Otherwise it looks like my Target Field show will be my only Buffett concert this year.

Re: Alpine Reopening
The only Alpine mystery that seems to be in need of solving is if it has the supposed 5th show and what that will be.

Re: Alpine Reopening
Maybe. But just remember that someday the party will come to an end. Schedule isn't great for me this year either, but I am sucking it up and heading to Pittsburgh, which is a new venue for me. Cleveland is my hometown venue, and I can't even go to that one- made plans months ago for the holiday weekend.
