Assuming we can all park and get in the stadium, I head JB say there is an opening act for the stadium shows. Any guesses on what the start times for the opening act and JB will be?

It's Toots and the Maytals and I think I read somewhere they start at 7:30

I think they just don't want everyone trying to get in at the same time, although if they had any sense at all they wouldn't be waiting to PARK everyone til 3:30 either.

Patriots are playing at home tonight, in one of the endzones you can see the stage set up. It is only the base but it is there.

good god....sounds like the foxboro gestapo will be out in full force sunday
This country festival must have had an impressive collection of drunken idiots.
I've been to more than a few concerts in my day. And while I admit I've never seen more drinking than at a Buffett concert, I have also never seen more good hearted fun or less trouble than at a Buffett concert.

Seriously, Buffett fans for the most part, have a lot of concert experience and left most of the hell rising behind them. Maybe its the age, maybe its the maturity (though grass skirts and coconut bras might challenge the maturity point), or maybe after all these years we've figured out how to have fun while leaving the ego at home.

Just rambling but the point is, I thought I was past all this, now I feel like I'm 19 again and going to a Black Sabbath concert at New Haven Coliseum. I'm too old for this S**t

yep, it sounds like the "country music festival" has scared the powers that be. guess they just dont realize that this will be a totally different crowd...not many "hell raisers"

fROM WHAT I SAW...IT WAS A LOT OF UNDER AGED OR BARLEY LEGAL KIDS...WHO KNEW IT WOULD BE A PARTY TO BASICALLY CRASH!!

long and the short of it . . . there is a hotline number . . . no body knows where yet because of the parking restrictions.

That's why I was suggesting to try to car pool it. For the people coming in from the north, we could meet at my hotel and carpool down. Two reasons, cuts down on the amount of cars, PLUS cheaper per person for the parking.

at thisi point we will be in either endzone or p10, where the rv's have to park, which ever opens earliest.
called the hot line, damn they were in by 930 where ever that show as.
we will have the finnabago, painted with lovely artwork by mrs bixxx
have made cornhole boxes, bright yellow, so stop by for a game and a bumper sticker

So hopefully we'll see some of you soon. I'll be on the lookout and will call the hotline. My traveling companions are acting like a group of wet squirels- rather wily and hard to pin down,

but will have fun once I get them planted somewhere.

Mr. OttoCal & I are leaving today after work, and will be in the Fenway area for the game tomorrow, not sure if we will actually be at the game or one of the bars, but we'll be around.

Travel safe, look out for Massholes on the MassPike if you are driving that way, and just remember, there is enough beer, booze, and festive sprit to get us through this bumble of a parking lot meet-up situation.

I've seen some classic shows there myself - Blue Oyster Cult/Foghat, Judas Priest/Iron Maiden, NRBQ/George Thorogood.

And can we ever forget the New Haven Nighthawks? RIP Coliseum!
