Really hoping that Soldier Field (if it's true) is part of the same lottery as the U.S. tour. That means I have a better chance at scoring an arena show because most people will be dying for the Soldier Field show.

With a seating capacity of 60,000 plus... I would hope tickets for a show at Soldier Field would be pretty easy to score!!

Oh definitely. If they were to do a single-lottery (I don't know if they've done that before or not), I'd definitely enter. Many have said that they wouldn't go because the view would be bad from many seats. I'd go because it would be a nice part of PJ history.

Do you think Pearl Jam @ Soldier Field July 4th Weekend is legit? Yes or no
I say yes
I selfishly say no cuz my chances of attending are slim.
not like it'll be the only concert of the tour (assuming if it's true.)
No. It won't be the only show. But I am already looking at 4 shows hoping I'll get a 5th once the tour is announced. I would love nothing more than to go to a stadium or destination to make up for what I've missed over the years but just may not be in the cards for me this year.
Oh please let it rain today.

That looks like my only shot at a show so I respectfully disagree

I'd love a show at Soldier, but it doesn't make much sense to me. My biggest question is, from the band's perspective, why not Wrigley? James Taylor is playing Wrigley on Thursday. Cubs are away til Tuesday. Last show didn't go as planned. Band feels that they have "unfinished business" at Addison & Clark per Theo Epstein. EV is a huge Cubs fan. Last show in Chicago was quickest concert sell-out for Wrigley Field... So they're playing Soldier? I'm definitely in if they do indeed play Soldier again, but I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea.
I know as of a week ago my buddy who is high in the cubs organization has not heard of a show there. Doesn't mean there won't be one but odds are against it at this point. Maybe soldier field is happening instead.
Soldier holds more people, better acoustics, and I think because of their history there fans would love to go see them there again. They were just at Wrigley so I think people might pass that up.

I completely agree with you. Ed would much rather play wrigley! The only thing I can think of is that something logistically just didn't work out for them playing wrigley so they opted for plan b at soldier field. Hopefully we will know in a couple weeks or so. Although I think only the spring tour gets announced next month.

You're probably right. Especially if mum is the word in Wrigleyville; in 2012-13 there was a lot of he said/she said months before the announcement. Regardless of location, I'd love to see the guys back in Chicago this year... Cheers!

i've never been do a game bears game so zero.
Not saying he's not a fan but he's nowhere near as big of a bears fan as he is a cubs fan. His cubs fandom is well documented. I've been a huge bears fan my entire life and I've never heard about ed being at one of their games. I believe ed had stated in the past that he usually gets to about a dozen cubs games a year.

Lot's of fans got shut out of Wrigley tix...true, we CUbs fans love being at the Friendly Confines..I love being on the field, but Soldier Field can fit 2 Wrigley shows in one night.
PJ25 will be 8 nights MSG. They are just waiting for Knicks to be officially eliminated from the playoffs which is taking longer than even Dolan expected. Announcement mid-January.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
PJ25 = Two nights in September or October at Seattle Center. Accompanying acts with PJ playing Memorial Stadium.
The Gorge would be perfect though.

Never been to soldier field, so someone who has please chime in
Maybe it's soldier over wrigley now because it's less near neighborhood residences(allowing easier late curfew logisticsand less or no fines for extensions) AND I have a hunch it would offer MUCH better shelter during a storm than the mess that was the hundred year old claustrophobic wrigley hallways in '13(I know die hard a that left in 13 because they just couldn't take it in there anymore). Seems like the football stadium would have much wider and more actual hallways/concourses inside should the rain come again(which Chicago in summertime is always a high possibility)
From a relative that works at Soldier Field, he said PJ on 7/4 at Soldier Field is booked
The show on a Monday night? I was hoping for the show to be on the Saturday/Sunday night so that we can also enjoy the 4th in Chicago. Doesn't make sense to me why the show would be on the monday night..

This may be the night that fits into a tour schedule. Or it may be the night the stadium allowed them to have. PJ can't only play on Weekends.
