Plus they charge about $30.00 to park there and a lot more for RV's.

At least the 9/2 show is Labor Day weekend.

Hmmmm... that got me thinking.... I really think I'd rather travel to Jones Beach for a show there on LD weekend than have a show at Gillette.....

Just say "NO" to stadium shows! [smilie=nope.gif]

Personally, I might show for the tailgate party, but not buy a ticket...

Looks like I'll have to outside of New England if I want to see Jimmy this year. I have no desire whatsoever to see him at Gillette. Fenway(35,000) was one thing ( not bad) but 65,000 at Gillette will not be worth it. Just think - so close( 3miles) yet so far away. And largely cuz of a stupid golf tournament. BTW- golf spelled backwards is FLOG.
Never been to Jones Beach - sounds like a possibility( if he goes there).

A sad day for veteran Great Woods BNer's!!!!!

One other hint that this may be real. The New England Revolution play their soccer games at Gillette. No home games are scheduled from 8/25 - 9/15.

To each his own, but the quality of the concert's more important to me than the quality of the tailgate....
