I knew about that show last week, I didn't post it because it was a Sunday. I get info sometimes about shows before they are posted, for example. I heard heard from a source last night, Nickelback w/ Chris Daughtry, Saturday, July 8th at Great Woods. It's not posted (as of now) on the Xfinity Center FB page.

June 10 is Frisco it's down to these open Saturday dates June 17, Jul 1, Jul 29, Aug 19 and Aug 26.

I'd cross off the 26th because of Chesney doing 2 nights at Gillette , getting a hotel would be a challenge , I think RRI may still have rooms , but at 200.00 / night. Since when did the RRI turn into the Park Plaza?

LOL, we really are slumming it there. Comfort Suites is definitely cleaner and you have the 99 right there.

When I used to go to GW, I usually stayed at Comfort Suites. I only stayed at the RRI once or twice.

The crowds at each are completely different. Everyone is friendly at both. Comfort Suites is definitely cleaner and more civilized. With the pool and the live music the RR has more of a debauchery vibe. Good times either way.

No wrong answer! :D

Just booked the Extended Stay for the 19th at $157 all in. The only issue that can happen here is you could get a smoking room even though you book a NS room. That happened last year and I spoke to the manager. They comped the room :)

getting away from the Mansfield / Foxboro area is probably a good idea , rates may be cheaper.

This will be the 3rd or 4th time staying there. It's right across from the Holiday Inn and not that far from the venue and since it's just for Saturday no need to be close to the pool party. Hope you can make it this year Tommy!
