Not central Wisconsin but close enough. Green Bay area here. Let us all know how Chicago compares to Alpine Finsupnorth.

Great! welcome....we visit Green Bay a lot....I was just saying we should try convincing Jimmy to do a winter show at Braun County arena.....
I will let you know how Chicago compares, but I think we all know the answer! NOTHING compares to Alpine...Jimmy said so himself!

From Central Wisconsin where parrotheadism is pretty hush, hush.....maybe we can step it up a notch! Any other Wisconson parrotheads, let me know you are around......
Hi Finsupnorth,
Checking in from Oshkosh, sort of central Wisconsin.
How about an outdoor venue? Let's see we'd need a stage and a ton of space for all the people, a campground and a huge number of port-a-pots.
All I'd have to do is convince my boss to let us use the EAA grounds for a little concert!
Although he did enjoy the concert at Alpine last year.....
Jimmy could fly right from his Lake Geneva house to OSH and taxi right up to the stage.
What a nice little dream that would be!

As long as we're picking additional WI locations for JB, I'm voting for Camp Randall. Hasn't been a show there in years, one's due. Also Jimmy in Madtown, forget about it!

I'm so excited to see all the Wisconsin PH on this website....
Greetings JPD! that sounds like a good idea for another outside venue, but I'm thinking we need something for our cabin fever.....something around January! We could do outdoors I guess, but that would be like Alpine 2 years ago......I don't think Jimmy appreciated the 40 degrees, what would he do in -20?????
We are all such dreamers......someday maybe!

How about Miller Park? Then if the weather turns nice, they could open the roof.
I guess they'd have to re-name it Corona park for the day or Seagrams Field. Either way, we die-hard Cheeseheads could tailgate in the parking lot, then head inside for the show.
Hard to think about winter when we are sweltering in the heat and humidity today.
Speaking of the heat, is it 5 yet?

That would be a great place also!!! Good idea!
--It's 5 somewhere!!!
*pop* (Corona) I wish....
I work at home and it is in my fridge....very tempting!!!!

wow, look at all the cheesehead parrotheads
as far as possible Wisconsin venues, it's gotta be outside, so Camp Randall is a possibility. Sound at Miller Park sucks (though I love going there), any other ideas?

How about my backyard?? LOL just kidding. Camp Randall is good but the one think I like about Alpine is the stage is not surrounded by seating so you don't have worry about only seeing Jimmy's backside. O.k. not that there would be anything wrong with that! Well I do believe the heat has melted my brain!
Anyone from Wis. remember hearing about Weedfest??

I would like Thurs Alpine, Friday all day beach / boat party at Buffett's on Lake Geneva, and Sat Alpine!!!!
This is all wishful thinking anyway, isn't it??

I think I would be happy if Jimmy just added another alpine show. Having two shows there would be great, and it would help the problems everyone's been having with tickets.
Maybe?
