Stadium Tour Rumor

Post by **phjim** » January 13, 2002 6:15 pm

There's a rumor that Buffett will be playing at Turner Field in mid April of 2002. It's just a rumor at this point.

NOOOOOO! I'm going to be in Montana then.
I always count on Jimmy between June and August not April. This may mean I'll miss my first show in Atlanta in 9 years. Please let this just be a bad rumor

How many Parrotheads can Turner hold.

So rumour has it that he's gonna do stadiums from this point on. Heinz Field in Pittburgh would be really coolas long as I'm on the field. I can hear it now, "I like mine with lettuce and tomato, "Heinz Ketchup" and french fried potato".... at this point the two big ketchup bottles above the scoreboard
at Heinz Field, pop open, tilt and pour the imaginary ketchup on the big screen on a giant digital cheeseburger. That would be cool! Plus there is plenty of parking. I would miss going out to Star Lake but that is just how it goes sometimes.

This goes along with the rumors he will be doing CMGI Field in Foxboro rather than GreatWoods Labor Day Weekend!

BOR:

I was discussing the Labor Day rumor with my SO this weekend. He thinks it's a possibility, but thinks it would be unlikely that they'd allow fans on the field. Rumor has it that the new stadium will have natural turf - and if that's so, my SO doesn't think the Patriots would appreciate having their new field trampled just weeks before the start of football season.

What do you think?

Deb.

they've had concerts in foxboro before during AUG/SEPT/OCT without too much worry of the turf. they'll probably cover it w/tarp.

The same rumors were floating around this time last year about stadium tours until tour dates were announced. Don't panic or change plans just yet. SFX will do better if its a tour like last year, same venues and no stadium headaches.

Sure Jimmy is gonna do Stadiums

Just like the rumor Jimmy will be playing at Solider Field, even though its going under Renovations as soon as the Bears finish take that NFC TITLE

Maybe Jimmy will continue what he's been doing- a combination of ampitheaters and stadiums. I would be happy to see him in either.

If SFX doesn't control the tickets at CMGI
in Foxboro, no way he plays there. Especially
if Jimmy is planning the usual Labor day show.

I have a friend who has an in with SFX; I'll see what I can find out. (which will most likely be nothing, but can't hurt to ask.)

SFX is the parent company of ticketmaster who controlls tickets sales at Fobboro/CMGI field! So your wrong!

Besides I doubt Jimmy would paly at Turner Filed for a few reasons, 1- he just did an Atlanta show in November and he doesn't ususlly do 2 shows in the same city a few months apart 2- April is still a bit chilly at night, even in Atlanta 3- His November show in Atlanta didn't sell out for a few days and even the the day of teh show there were plenty of tickest left. Why would he go play in a larger venue if he had a hard time selling out a smaller venue a few months prior.

What are you talking about? The Philips Arena concert here in Atlanta sold out within hours of the tickets going on sale!

Guest · Post by **Guest** » January 17, 2002 1:53 pm

I think what he/she may be talking about is if tickets were released a few days before the show. I honestly don't remember if any tickets were released and available.

On the Saturday morning that tickets went on sale, I know for a fact that they sold out within MINUTES of going on sale.

A stadium tour will probably provide more seats overall than an amphitheater tour -- certainly more the last 'abbreviated' shed tour. Either way I hope he doesn't give the Maryland/Virginia area short shrift this time. He has a lot of fans within 100 miles of D.C. (present administration not withstanding).
Anybody care to venture a guess as to which venue he might choose here? My guess is RFK stadium in D.C. -- he certainly won't run into any baseball conflicts! But there must be other opinions. I'd like to hear 'em.

It was 1985 when Jimmy last played in Buffalo. And 1978 before that. so whether or not he plays a stadium or a smaller venue, I wish he'd at least give the fans in Buffalo a chance. Some of us just can't make it to Pittsburgh during the week. How about it JB?
