    wtf, I just heard that not only are happy hours banned in boston but they don't allow bands to sell merch!!! wtf?! no posters? no stickers? no t shirts?

    And during summer the whole city is one big sausage fest, all the hot college co-eds have returned home to Chicago to parade around Wrigleyville in skimpy clothing.

    Isn't Chicago know for their bottomless parties during that time of year?

    Remember...Boston is where this kind of thing happens. You have been warned.

    ^^^ Oh boy, looks like we will be at this all weekend!

    Being a young lady in Chicago means 9 months out of the year you are in a winter coat. By August, it will either be storming or snowing or everyone will have a heatstroke. There is NO in between!

    The last few days in Boston have been 50 degrees, today we are under a winter storm warning with anywhere from 4-12" expected, depending on where you are.

    Don't get started about the weather. : /

    Wrigley has water for $1

    Same water outside Fenway costs $6. Actually, its not even the same water because the water outside Fenway is bottled Boston Harbor water. Sometimes it's green, sometimes it's brown...
    Jimmy V pulling a quick one and trying to increase his odds on the Fenway Lotto. Guarantee it is his 1st and 2nd choices!
    Hey man, I'm just trying to help people out! Don't waste your first and second picks on Fenway! :lol::wink:

    Fenway. It's two years older.

    It doesn't look it's age though and it even has cooler street names!

    Good luck guys!

    Wrigley has ivy; Fenway has a green monster.

    Monsters are scary! Ivy is not.

    Go to Wrigley!

    Cooler street names? Not possible to be on a cooler street than one named after the great American and Chicago hero David Addison!

    The ivy is a baseball graveyard.

    I got night 2, my buddy got both, so I am officially in for both shows. Couldn't be more excited. Have wanted these shows to happen for so long.

    Is it safe to assume that there will be no tailgating in any of the pay lots in Boston? We have a huge crew heading down for the Sunday show and trying to figure out whether or not to just rent a party bus. Nothing like planning out drinking options 6 months in advance :)

    I'm pretty sure the Fenway neighborhood does not allow tailgating.

    The good news is, there are a ton of bars within walking distance.
