I like that !!! Granted it's not GW , but the date works for me!!
Is there a date that doesn't work?
For me Aug 19th ( ALS Golf Tournament). If he does that date , I may consider Wrigley!!!

This is probably a complete coincidence(or maybe the owners of this joint know more than we do) but there's a Buffett Beach Blast party on Friday, July 28th in Salisbury, MA. Granted, that's about an hour and a half from Mansfield area but you never know...

Lady Gaga added a 2nd show for Fenway on Saturday, Sept. 2nd so no Labor Day Weekend show for Buffett at Fenway.

I'm guessing since June 8th was announced for Houston , that June 10th is probably out for GW. That pretty much leaves Aug 19th at GW or Aug 12th at Fenway. I doubt he would do Aug 26th against Chesney. But stranger things have happened.

Frisco has pretty much been confirmed but not confirmed for June 10th for the past week or two. And now that Houston is 6/8, that makes even more sense.

Whether Frisco gets confirmed for June 10th or not there is no chance he'd play in Houston on June 8 then Great Woods on June 10 so June 10th is out for Great Woods without a doubt.

August 19th at Great Woods, I still say that is the date.

That date isn't good for me ... but again Jimmy doesn't schedule his tour around me. At least he didn't check with me on dates that work..LOL!!

That would work from the logistics viewpoint. The Sox are out of town for more than a week prior to July 8th (Saturday) and then they've got the entire All-Star Break for the load out.

I'd prefer Great Woods to Fenway just for the tailgating/parking.
It was too much tequila . . . . or not quite enough.

That would definitely kill any tailgating. But, I've never been to a Buffett stadium show. Who knows, it may work.

Don't you have a connection from WPB to put in a good word for you?

NKOTB is July 8 @ Fenway. Before that is Dead & Company on June 17. So, July 1-7 is open at Fenway. Still crossing fingers for Great Woods.

I'd be surprised he did a concert at Fenway or anywhere so close to July 4th unless it is a "special event" type concert.
