Not one of those guys in the organization anymore, unless you count Morneau being on TV sometimes and as a “special assistant.”

I think the excitement comes from the fact that they appear to like playing in ballparks, and when it comes to ballparks, Target Field is (1) widely regarded as one of the better ones, (2) Target Field already hosts a lot of concerts, and (3) the aforementioned “connection” with the team.

In sum, I think people get excited because it presents likely our best opportunity to get a show these days...

Yea those pics I posted were old. Think from around the time of Eddies solo tour. I know he’s friends w Moreau now and has been friends w Ron Coomer for a while...think there was a Strib article around that time w Vedder and Gardy, etc...he’s said the Cubbies are his team but that the Twins were is favorite team in the AL or something, a lot of connections....
I’m not all for Target Field show just thinking like mentioned above it might be our best shot to get them back here? I’ve always liked the shows at the X too.

Flying from MSP to Baltimore

I'm not necessarily excited about Target Field, just anywhere that I don't have to fly to. If that's the only driveable option, then I will not complain.

I agree if that is the local option then it is what it is. I would go, being that I could take a bus and sleep in my own bed. I just don’t share the excitement of others in going to a concert in a sports stadium.

I fully back a show show at the X, Target Field not so much.

doing the san diego/la run again for spring. historically those shows have been pretty good - san diego 06 and 13 are near the top of shows i've seen - so hoping for the best of tour there.

I've always had a blast at Target Field shows. The Eagles, Zac Brown and Kenny Chesney we great parties. But Paul McCartney was amazing there, way better than seeing him in an arena. There's something special about seeing PJ outdoors on a perfect summer night. But I love the intimacy of the arena shows too. Guess I can't make up my mind.

My 39th and 40th shows will be a fun road trip this spring. Driving to St. Louis, then heading for the mountains and the Denver show!

Maybe I’ve become too accustomed to seeing shows in smaller venues. In the past 3 years I’ve only been to one show in an arena setting, Foo Fighters at the X. Sat in the upper level. Felt like I was watching from the moon. Otherwise, all other shows have been in theaters or clubs. Again, if it happens I’m down, but if it’s going to they better get on the stick and get it announced.
