Why would anyone play Safeco when Centurylink is right there? Is it a capacity thing? The whole gimmick behind that football field is that it is supposed to hold sound in. Wouldn't that benefit a concert?

I don't know if it is supposed to make the audience loud. Might not be a good idea concert wise, could be a giant echo chamber where the sound just bounces off the stands. Sure it makes the audience at football games seem loud but who knows.

That's a good point. Could very well play a role.

Just thought about this. We should know by April 8th if the dates are being added or not.

If the tour Tshirts list all the spring dates AND then the Baseball stadiums, were probably not getting anything else between the baseball park shows... agreed?

I wouldn't be surprised if the stadium dates are not mentioned on the spring tour t-shirts. The stadium shows will have their own unique t-shirts like Wrigley did back in 2013.

If they decide to add a few dates around those shows, such as rumoured dates in Pittsburgh, Columbus, Indy, etc, I think it will be a while before we get an announcement. I wouldn't be surprised if they have holds on a bunch of venues and have yet to decide if they want to add extra shows. The band will probably want to wrap up the April/May tour and then see how they feel before adding more shows in August. So I'd say the best case scenario is that any added shows will be announced in late May.

I've been predicting all along that more dates will be announced in early march. Already rumors of other shows taking place like Osheaga, Klipsch Center, the Pittsburgh hold date of august 13 long before wrigley and Fenway were announced. The evidence is there.

I personally think an entire leg will be announced to support the stadium shows

but that's just me

I love all the speculation about an additional leg or shows, especially a west coast leg of shows. But, I am not risking anything.....flying to Miami solo from Cali....

If more shows come my way....great, if not, well then I will still be plenty pleased that I got some Springtime Florida Pearl Jam under my belt.

Although, I really want some west coast shows so I can go with the misses and other friends.

Interesting... but I HIGHLY doubt it happens in 2016

If the price is right they will have a hard time turning it down. Similar to festivals offering large amounts. If it doesn't greatly interfere with already made plans I'd say this is likely to happen. Could still happen even if it does interfere.

I am hoping they announce another leg with the lottery including the ball park shows. I just think it would be weird to announce two tour legs so close together though so not likely. I still think it would be a jerk move to announce shows in Pittsburgh, Indy and Columbus at a later date to this first leg when they are so close in geography.

I'm surprised no Hartford show, even with Fenway since it's a few months later. Anyway I'm on the side that after Fenway and Wrigley are on sale they will eventually announce a West Coast tour, then PJ25.
The day this band puts the whole tour out at once is a day I would LOVE to see. It's really just one of those things we have to live with as a PJ fan and its annoying as hell.

I have many casual PJ fans and none of then got tickets at the public sale. I have a bunch of emails asking me for extras...I'm like extras??? LOL

Haha, I've had the same thing happen. I had a buddy say, "hey, can you get me some MSG and Fenway tix? I'll get you the money" I laughed and told him that I was only able to get my NY tix through a lottery and Fenway will be every man/woman for themselves. Gone are the days when you can casually hop on TM and pick up 6-8 tickets.

They should do a sound check now... It's not like the Seahawks are using the place.

Count me in on this!!!

Guesstimate:

Fenway and Wrigley lottery starts today or tomorrow, public on sale starts 2/12, fall tour of the west coast including PJ25 announced in May.

I'm gonna guess Fenway Wrigley go onsale at noon eastern. So in about an hour. Rest of tour announced sometime next month.

Paging Chris Chelios, please call and invite Eddie and the boys to Detroit between Fenway and Wrigley - only seems logical. I am not picky when it comes to choosing the venue. bUCK

Based on what JA said, I'm expecting more.

MAYBE they announce Wrigley & Fenway as thePJ25 celebrations, but if not.... There's something else in the works.

As a Bostonian, I would LOVE a PJ25 announcement at the same time as the Wrigley / Fenway announcement.

I imagine that would make Fenway tickets a little less in demand (selfish, I know..... But whatever)

Boom saw his shadow! A few more weeks of waiting.

I too would like Pearl Jam to confirm this PJ25 announcement (rumored to be happening @ The Gorge), the same time when Wrigley & Fenway tickets go on sale.

I understand that PJ25 at the Gorge is much wanted by just about everyone, but is it actually rumored to be happening?
