Just a rumor... but I've heard it from a couple of different people in seperate parts of the country! Just passin' it along...

Now the real question is:

Have they come to some sorta understanding regarding the neighbors and noise ordinances... because if they intend to turn the speakers off in the lawn again this year... well... I guess I just know to buy reserve or get in extra early to get up front in the lawn.. but that crap stunk last year!

Anyhooo... perhaps we have at least one show date

The company agreed to tone down the sound coming from concerts after complaints from people who live near the amphitheatre. As part of a deal with the Hillsborough Environmental Protection Commission, the company will lower the speakers and install electronic limiters on them. It also plans to build a $2.5 million sound-absorbing wall.

sounds like Santa will "just say no to The Ford. "

Well in that case... take my advice... head up front or buy reserved...

And I thought they were suppose to start building that wall last year

yessir...I say it's all a bunch of crap. THough I said that last year too and they still can't get their s*** straight. That's Hillsborough County for ya

I thought they agreed to put the sound walls up... which would allow them to keep the lawn speakers on. I drive past it every day - I will make sure they are doing their job!! I don't think I would like to spend money on tickets and then not be able to hear the show!

It's my birthday, he has to be playing somewhere that day.

I heard he was starting on the West Coast in April, he'll be out there to promote his movie "Hoot".

Well as much as I would love to see the 4/15 show in Tampa a reality... I think only Jimmy's peeps know the truth and we really need to sit back and wait....

I am sure they moniter this and other boards and wonder if any of us really have a clue!!!

I'm not asking for much. Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa or Columbia in April. Any of those - any time in April and I'm there! I'm going to sea this summer, so I need my fix for 2006.

I have been lucky enough to have several been in Tampa on my b'day!

I've seen him on my birthday once, 2 days before once and last year's Hawaii show was 4 days after my birthday.
