    In general, if a band already has dates that are on sale in a market, the promoter has the right to nix any additional local shows.

    The Soul Asylum shows at the state fair are “free” as in included with the admission fee ($17-18). Although I don’t see them playing 4 shows in 5 days.

    Has anybody been in the bar top seats at the top of the club level in Xcel? I've seen them walking past and thought they looked cool. Just got a pair for night 2.

    I love those seats.. you have easy in/out access and bars and bathrooms on club level are much faster to get to and get back to seats. You'll enjoy!

    Depends on what’s fancy pants to you..
     Meritage would be my choice The St. Paul Grill in the St Paul Hotel is nice. Mancini’s if you’re looking for steaks. Louis has a nice rooftop dining area, foods great, more casual. Or go to Selby Ave, LaGrolla, Handsome Hog, or WA Frost. On a Friday or Saturday, you’ll likely need a reservation for any of these places.

    This is very much appreciated. I’m a planner so going to look at these and make reservations.

    Wife and I are there Thursday to Sunday - open to grab a drink, or split a ride to/from.

    Only have N2 tickets right now, but more than likely will grab N1 when we get in town.

    Flights booked.  :)
    my return flight to New York has been changed twice since I booked it two weeks ago, went from an 8 am departure to a 10:15 am departure, which I prefer. 
    Both of my flights are at six am.  :(
    My flight out on the 3rd is 6am as well. 

    I’ll buy you a coffee.

    Usually I try to maximize my stay by taking the first flights out of New York and the latest flights back home, but who knew they charged significantly more for later flights (I didn't since the last flight I was on was Sept. 2017 to Chicago).

    Wow. You guys are leaving early. My flight on the 3rd to Newark isn’t until 2:00pm - unless they change it.
