i think this could be legit... unfinished business and you know they wanted wrigley to be special and probably do a dvd/boxset... now they can really do it up and put out a dvd/boxset for the LB album
makes sense and the schedule seems right
It's hard to see a stadium show in Chicago and then 2 arena shows shortly after that are both short drives away. Plus they usually announce Wrigley concerts many months in advance...4 months away seems pretty short.
Haa. The cubies turn the season around, Host the one game playoff, and lose the game on a bad bounce on a field that was damaged by pearl jam fans 2 nights prior. I dont see wrigley happening in september.
They will play my backyard long before the cubs turn it around.

but why wouldnt they play Chicago on their "Midwestern Tour"? that seems very odd to me... i would assume they would have thrown in 2 dates at the arena... i mean we are talking about the largest city by far in the midwest and they are skipping it?
if there was no storm last year, i would totally agree.. but the fact that the show was fucked by a storm and they are skipping Chicago on this midwestern tour has my spidey senses tingling on this one my friend
Nothing concrete but this person told me about wrigley and both EV solo tours well before they were announced. Believe it don't believe it. Nothing wrong with a little HOPE

0% chance of a Wrigley show. Wrigley neighbors are a bunch of whiners (that's what delayed lights for so many years) and they threw a fit for last year's show going to 2 AM. Also Wrigley is planning to do some major renovation in the off season.

Definitely odd that they are skipping Chicago when they are doing a midwest tour. Like I said before, it's just hard to see them announcing a show this big so close to the date. Plus the fact that there are 2 concerts relatively close to Chicago already scheduled. I think it would be great (I'd be able to walk to and from Wrigley) and I hope you're right, but it doesn't really add up to me.
Nothing concrete but this person told me about wrigley and both EV solo tours well before they were announced. Believe it don't believe it. Nothing wrong with a little HOPE
Why would they announce Wrigley after they've announced a tour? It would make more sense to sell this out, everyone makes travel plans, then announce a tour...similar to what they do with festivals.
PJ only plays three week tours. If they add Bridge school, this year will be more 3.5 wks. I really don't think they stretch this tour out any longer.

Why would they announce Wrigley after they've announced a tour? It would make more sense to sell this out, everyone makes travel plans, then announce a tour...
i thinks its pretty simple actually, because they want to sell as many tickets as possible to the midwestern dates that will be hard to sell out anyway before announcing a massive show like wrigley field... so the last thing you want to do is get the cart before the horse and have everyone just wanting to go to wrigley and skipping milwaukee, st louis, cincy, etc, etc, etc...
announcing wrigley after most of the tickets for the other dates sell makes perfect sense to me...
they sold out wrigley in record time last year and they know they can announce a wrigley show and sell it out no problem, especially with their prices
the fact that they are not playing Chicago, which history would tell us is an easy 2 date arena stop with 40,000 tickets sales, and playing a 12,000 seat venue a few hours away in the burbs, is tell me a lot here... PJ does not leave easy sell outs off the schedule too often
this makes total sense to me and honestly it seems like the writing is on the wall...
Doesn't look like it's happening, but boy would it be sweet. And for those not from Chicago...Milwaukee is a lot closer to Chicago than Moline is. The draw to Moline is that it's small/different and it's a Friday night....where Milwaukee is a Monday (uggh).

Exactly what I was thinking. If it happens or not, I don't know, but there are lots of things lining up that if it did happen, 9/27 would make the most sense.

I believe you are stretching a bit on this one.......
when someone can give me a legit reason they passed on playing 2 gigs in chicago with 40,000 easy tickets sold on a "midwestern" tour, then i will agree that wrigley is impossible... but until then i say this could be legit and not much of a stretch at all

They passed on a TON of midwest cities that would sell out. Moline is not a suburb of Chicago, there is hundreds of miles of farm land in between. Milwaukee will sell out, Moline will sell out, St. Louis will sell out and probably could sell out two nights in each city. Chicago is not the only city in the Midwest.

Off the top of my head I don't remember if Wrigley hosts concerts that late in the summer. I have tickets to see Billy Joel at Wrigley this summer, at it's one day off from being a year exactly from the PJ show at Wrigley.
I would almost guess that Alpine Valley might be more likely for late September. But they have a Milwaukee show booked already, so that dampens that chance (many bands do Alpine in place of both Milwaukee and Chicago).
I don't know why people think a Chicago show is obvious at this point, I feel the opposite is true.
They haven't had a leg of a tour longer than three weeks since 2006, most tours have been exactly 21 days which is what this one is. Also, they've been pretty good about not adding extra citites to tours after tours have been announced (this was especially bad in 2003, 2006 and 2009).
Wrigley sold out so fast last year because PJ had played six US shows the previous two years, they hadn't played Chicago in four years and it was on a Friday night in the middle of summer and they have us six months notice. It was the perfect storm for a fast sell out.

Hate to burst anyone's bubble but I just spoke to my friend who works for the Cubs. There are 3 shows scheduled for Wrigley this year including one on 9/13. Her exact quote was "it is highly unlikely that they would put on 2 shows in the same month on two separate weekends" How reliable is this person, she got me 4 tickets to the Wrigley show after it was sold out using her employee ticket option.

Bubble burster!
Does she also know when Bryant and Baez wil be in the majors?
The last home game of the season is on 9/24, so a 9/27 show would not matter to the team in any way in terms of the field taking a beating or not. And, again, I am not saying it will happen or that it is even likely. It is just not beyond the realm of possibilities, regardless of unlikely that possibility will be.
and for the record they had 2 scheduled in the same weekend last year at wrigley......only to be cancelled out by the 230 in the morning marathon!!!!!!! just saying
That's my point. They try and schedule everything at once for the fields sake. They won't have 3 separate weekends worth of concerts. Last year was 2 shows back to back. This year there are 2 shows back to back and then a separate show on the 13th of Sept.

Actually now that I think about it, yes, please wait for a Chicago show and don't buy tickets to the 2014 US Tour.
Thanks.

which leaves one more event allowed...
a Cubs Charity Bike Race that was scheduled for 9/27 has been canceled, AND i believe renovations begin this offseason?

It makes zero logistical and financial sense to skip Chicago on this tour...
Everything lines up perfectly... not sure why some think this is impossible? This isn't even my rumor, but it makes perfect sense
