The February 26th court date Campbell mentioned, is the same day the Jimmy Buffett concert is scheduled at the Ford Amphitheatre. A judge is scheduled to hear the matter at 9 a.m. The concert is scheduled for 8 p.m.

So if you're thinking about going to that concert, it may not happen if a judge shuts down the amphitheatre until they fix an on-going noise problem.

I'd like to think the city and county would be smarter than to shut the place down the day of a concert. Lots of p*ssed off people in town raises the real possibility of trouble.....

I agree! But they have done crazier things before.

The time set for court is 9AM, heck most of us will already be there by then.

and I might even think about writing to the chamber of commerce, or something, noting that I (and probably several hundreds or thousands of others) will never set foot in Tampa again to spend one single tourist dime if the county is stupid enough to cancel a concert with absolutely no notice.

tell you what... this is seriously making me reevaluate whether I want to risk spending money on a plane ticket and hotel for a concert that may not happen.....

I'm always first in line for good time with PH's at a Buffet concert and I'm first in line to protest against the messed up politics of Central Florida. So either way I'm looking at having a good time.

I look at it this way. They would shut down the show to avoid noise? With a Phlock of PH's in town? One would think it would be much more quite to let the show go on

Living in Otown for five years now I have seen the powers that be do some really messed up stuff. I really do doubt though that they would shut down a concert the day of.

I say we have the preparty tailgate / party in the courthouse parking lot. When they see so many men in coconut bras they will know that they cant shut down the show.

Do you think they might get the message when one VERY ANGRY BEG from Cali hands them a bill to pay for her plane ticket, lodging and grief? Maybe I should find my "Slugger" shirt from college.

if its the neighbors of the theater causeing this, i say we all chip in a few bucks and rent them a bus and send them off to a day of shopping at one fl's finest outlet malls and end their evening with fine dinning at a cracker barrel

No, let's take them to the Waffle House and let them spend the night at Motel 6!

All I know is, if they think those other concerts were loud, they got a big surprise coming. They aint heard nothing yet, wait until we get there.

Official word was because of rain, but I've been soaked at an Atlanta show. Rumor was that the show was postponed because it was the same night as Game 7 in the division playoffs.
