I'd be interested to see the stats with Alpine shows included in your list too!

That would be stretch. Alpine is in Wisconsin.

Obvs....but many times they played there in lieu of Chicago.

No Alpine. Once you cross state lines, you are no longer in Chicago. If I allowed that, what's next? I mean what would stop a state like New York for claiming two football teams that play in another state. Nope. I need to put my foot down on this one.

Your choice, but I don't think you understand the situation. A lot of bands that tour the country play Alpine as their stop in Chicago, or Milwaukee, or both. Usually a couple nights in a row for bigger bands. I remember the last year Lollapalooza was a touring act, I think 1997, it stopped at Alpine, not Chicago or Milwaukee. The funny thing that happened that year was Snoop came on stage wearing a Brett Favre jersey thinking the "Wisconsin" crowd would give him some love. When he asked about the jersey to the crowd, he was returned with a lot of boos. He then asked how many people were from Wisconsin. The crowd was not that loud. He then asked how many people were from Chicago, and the response dominated the crowd. Snoop, said something to the lines of, Shit, I wore the wrong fucking jersey. He asked how many Bears fans were there, and it way outnumbered the Packer fans.

You can go either way on this one, but in a year where PJ didn't play Chicago, and did play Alpine, you may want to use the stats.
