private party at a ballpark??
I hate to bring this up but it might be cheaper to rent a minor
league b/p than a beautiful ampitheater
and while it it nice to Say the Carolinas are closer to the NE and florida
Let us remember that there are people who will have to travel a lot farther :lol:

I know. I was just pointing out that central locations relative to the population, with access to good airports/hotel room space for 10,000 of us could be a bear. But, there is a good stadium in Omaha (where they hold the College World Series I believe) that is very central. And we can stop and see Uncle Warren on the way to the show. :)

sure... and then you make up for it on the back end with everything else... including renting a room for The Man to play. (although, as an idea... ever wonder what a buyout of an M'ville restaurant for a night would go for?)
