Still would be fun though!!!
the tailgate will be one of the best ever at Gillette. I know Great Woods is tough to beat but for those who don't know the area, Route 1 in Foxboro has numerous "little" lots as well as one huge lot next to the stadium. Hopping around from lot to lot will be awesome. The cops are pretty cool. Be prepared to sit in the worst traffic ever as the closest high way (Rt 495) is a ways away.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

Of course as always these are only rumors and not intended in anyway to cause excitement or high hopes. But hey, it makes the work days go by better.
I live in Newport Beach too! So what date range are we looking at for OC - early April, late April? Possibly two shows again at Irvine?
I know... shock! its me! I'm still here and kicking! and am trying to catch up on these posts (hate it when i let too much time go by and then loose days trying to recap everything!!!).
Anyways, I see that Gillette is confirmed for both the 2nd and 8th... which means I cant go to my scifi convention... so bummed. But you all know where my priorities lie! heheh... anyways..
The downfall of Gillette is the traffic but a lot of us will be getting there way early so shouldnt be too bad. What hotels are in that immediate area!? Camping areas!? hmmm... got to start planning NOW!
and hope this doesnt mean he's going to cancel Jones Beach.. that was such a blast!!!

ps - who is going to the new england PH convention!? I'll be there with my juice!

He'd be great at Groves Stadium in Winston-Salem...Probably could cram 40,000 into it and almost all would be good seats. Also, lots of good taligaiting.

Yyyaaarrggh
I'm liking the news, but is this a CONFIRMED DATE?????
For the Wedding, yes it is confirmed! The show, not confirmed but a probability with my irish luck!
I can't remember the last time Jimmy played Camden on a Saturday!. Unless your cousin is getting married on a Tuesday, I think you are safe.
June 10, 2000 - The Last time JB played Camden on a Saturday
June 5, 1999 - The Last time before that - The day I got married.
(He also play Thursday June 3 as well - My REHURSAL No JB for me in 1999)
Yyaaarrrggh
Tis true!
JB has not been playing the Philly/Camden venues on Saturdays as most of us would like.....
I looked through me captain's log and in 8 years, JB has only played 3 Saturday shows in the area.
JB's last SATURDAY show in the area was in Philadelphia, PA on August 27, 2005 at Citizens Bank Park !!!!!!
Thursday - June 3, 1999 - Tweeter Center - Camden, NJ
SATURDAY - June 5, 1999 - Tweeter Center - Camden, NJ
Thursday - June 8, 2000 - Tweeter Center - Camden, NJ
SATURDAY - June 10, 2000 - Tweeter Center - Camden, NJ
Thursday - September 6, 2001 - Tweeter Center - Camden, NJ
Thursday - June 27, 2002 - Tweeter Center - Camden, NJ
Tuesday - July 1, 2003 - Tweeter Center - Camden, NJ
Tuesday - June 29, 2004 - Tweeter Center - Camden, NJ
Thursday - August 25, 2005 - CBP - Philadelphia, PA
SATURDAY - August 27, 2005 - CBP - Philadelphia, PA
Tuesday - August 1, 2006 - Tweeter Center - Camden, NJ
What keeps this old, salty pirate up at night gazing at the stars on the water is why does JB not give the Philly/Camden area 2 shows any more?
I agree, Buffett should do two shows again. Although the concerts at Citizens Bank Park offered an easier opportunity to get tickets to see him, it was not the same experience (and insanity) as the Tweeter Center in Camden. I know he is getting older but I believe Philly deserves a 2 show performance as much as the other stops on the tour
Maybe it's because in spite of all the work we do, it's the child in us we really value.
Totally off the wall, and probably not much basis to it, but I heard through a politician that one of the towns is trying to get a show on a beach in South Jersey.
Even if it were true, I can't imagine the added traffic into a beach resort that JB would bring during the summer season.

Any idea when the lots would open? The Gillette Stadium website says 3 hours before an event which would mean 4:30. That would s***!!! I called the stadium and they were clueless about parking. I suspect that they would make an exception for Buffett but I would like to see something confirmed.
Anyone? Bueler?

For both concerts, the parking lots will open at 3:30 p.m., stadium gates will open at 6:00 p.m. and the show will begin at 7:30 p.m.
Probably NYC and Mohegan Mid Sept.???
