Besides, if you look at the schedule he already has 6 shows/2 weeks in July. The last few years that's been the pattern, 2 weeks on the road followed by a month, sometimes 6 weeks, off. If I were a betting man, I'd say no chance he plays the beach in July.

Maybe so but I'm guessing the casino picks up part of the tab...changingchannels wrote:LIBuffettFan wrote:I hope Jimmy isn't setting a pattern here with only doing MSG when he's in NY because of the size of the stadium, that would be a shame.

size of the venue doesnt matter.take mohegan sun and atlantic city as two factual examples.both are about as small as a venue as you will see jimmy play outside of the "special gigs" or un-announced shows.

It does matter. You missed their point. The are speaking about NY specifically. When he has the chaice to play a few different venues then the size matters. There is no other building near Mohegan or AC. Let's say there was another arena in AC that seats 8K more people then Boardwalk Hall. Where do you think he'd play? Jones Beach - 15K seats. MSG - 20K seats.

i think someone pointed out earlier that he has played both in the same year, but i could just be pipe dreaming.UpstateNYPH wrote:Maybe he will choose bothJBNut wrote:It does matter.

Last year was the first time in 6 years he did 1 show in NY and did it at the Garden instead of Jones Beach. This year's full schedule hasn't been announced yet so there's still a chance of a Jones Beach show. I'd hardly call what he's doing a pattern. Playing Jones Beach in only even numbered years since 1998 is a pattern.LIBuffettFan wrote:I hope Jimmy isn't setting a pattern here with only doing MSG when he's in NY because of the size of the stadium, that would be a shame.

In 1998 he played the Garden in February and Jones Beach in the summer. Two years ago he played Jones Beach at the end of June and the Garden in mid-September. It's not out of the question to do both venues again.popcornjack wrote:i think someone pointed out earlier that he has played both in the same year, but i could just be pipe dreaming.
