Largest Crowd Ever?

[turning40]

After the Philly show with approx. 40,000 people, I was wondering what is the largest crowd Jimmy has ever played to?

Don't know, but that's not even close.

I know years ago like back in 1998 Tinley Park could hold 35,000 but that year at Farm Aid they had 38,000. They have upgraded once since then I belive now it is just over 40,000 if not more for a show, and usually if the show sells out they will usually pack more people in there.

Crappiest sound in the United States for a outdoor venue, but they can sure pack em in there.

Alpine Valley can take about 42,000. But I don't want to get in trouble for mentioning that place...

For some reason, I thought Alpine Valley had 43,000 a couple years ago.

And I'm sure that isn't the biggest crowd he's ever played. Just pointing out it is bigger than Philly.

Actually I hate to say this---but if you look at Billboard results for top concerts---when Alpine is up there--it actually says capacity is at 35,000.

You've been there for Buffett... I think they fill it past capacity, don't you?

(I'm not arguing - no reply necessary - I really don't know, and it's the weekend... have a good one! )

Sorry, I'm not Jah. I don't live by what Billboard says.

I've been going to concerts at Alpine since 1987. It holds well over 40,000.

[Goodman]

About 2,500 Belmont Park- LI circa 1978.

I don't know how many attended Jimmy's show at Texas Stadium but that was the largest crowd I've seen for Buffett.


I found the largest crowd to attend a solo concert ever.

Don't know about crowds, but Goodman's new AVATAR may be the largest ever....

Hard for me to say. Ive been to Alpine quite a few times, but only 2 or 3 of those times has been in the lawn.

Yes! Yes it is!

[Ukulele Jack]

Local press reported both Philly shows at 45,000 each.

[BigR-KyParrothead]

I have heard that Buckeye Lake held around 50-60 thousand....I've been there 3 times and it was sold out every time.

[PHat Matt]

48,000 at Buckeye Lake in 1995 or 1998 (cant remeber which year).

[USMParrothead]

kind of ironic, but a few years back at jazz fest in new orleans there were between 100-130K. And most of the parrotheads that i know refused to go simply because of the amount of people that would be there to see him.

You think my avatar's big....

OK, I'm just gettin' silly now. Time for another beer.
