Sorry JoAnn. :( I don't mean to be a downer, but I just don't find a single thing appealing about a Buffett show at Wrigley. :-? But I suppose it's cool for others... I just don't plan to be in town that weekend. :wink:

I understand... It just won't be the same without you guys! I have a few takers on a bball game, so we'll have to try to fit it in to the Alpine fun. Might you take the Janesville bus this year? :D

Well, I haven't voiced my opinion on this yet... I am just racking my brain over the pros and cons of a Wrigley show:
PROS:
The History of Wrigley
Maybe seeing a Chicago team win!
A stadium concert
CONS:
Not so close to home as Tinley
I would probably not be able to hang out with BN'rs
I couldn't get free box seats from a connection my grandfather has with one of Tweeter Center's main contractors
A stadium concert
Tickets harder to get

JIMMY PLEASE PLAY BOTH VENUES!!! (although there is a slim chance that would happen) :cry:

Will tickets for stadium shows as these be harder to get tickets for? Because there are more tickets to buy... also are they gonna be cheaper??

That would be awesome if true. I went to Wrigley for the first time last year and had a great time. Wrigleyville is a cool place too. I would defintiely be there.

I think they will be easier to get but also more expensive. Fenway tix were much easier to get over GW tix.

Glad I am not the only one in that boat this year! Alpine might be my only concert this year, as opposed to the 5 last year including Vegas and Key West :cry:
