    It sounds like wrigley and femway both suck. Maybe they should replace those four shows with four more at msg!

    Seriously?

    Chicago even kicks Boston's ass with Dan Aykroyd movies.

    EVERYTHING is better in Chi-Town baby.

    Sea might as well lock the thread and enter all neutral folks into the Wrigley lottery there's no topping that.

    Chicago took Theo and Lester, had Jordan and the Bulls of the 90's, Blackhawks beat the Bruins in 2013 in the Stanley Cup finals, Bears beat the Pats in the 86 Super Bowl. Ditch, Payton, Banks, Roenick, and for Christs sake's....Eddie is from Evanston. If Chicago isn't the better city to see PJ, strike me dead. Stay away from Fenway. You'll thank me later

    Do I need to remind everyone again that the Cubs did NOT make it to tbe WS last year?

    Or that we got rid of Patrick f@#king Sharp? The ultimate PJ fan?

    That's our problem, we are stuck in the past! The old Bears and the old Bulls. Better think about your future! Fenway is in your future!

    Baseball stadiums suck for concerts. They aren't built for it compared to arenas so both aren't ideal. But I've been to both for ball games and I would go Wrigley, but Fenway a very close second.

    Ok then let's talk music in the present time. Chicago has proven that concerts at Wrigley can go well past midnight. Fenway has a strict 11pm curfew. Eddie sings with Bruce almost every time Bruce is in Chicago. Eddie never sings with Bruce in Boston. And Dave Growl did show on Sonic Highways about how awesome Chicago is. Not a mention of Boston at all. Chicago is the way to go. It's cheaper, cleaner, and friendlier than Boston.

    Eddie might dedicate both shows @ Wrigley to the Cubs.

    The energy from both the band and crowd could inspire the Cubbies to go all the way for the first time in over 100 years. Think about that. There can't be anyone left alive who remembers the last time that happened.

    Pearl Jam & their fans could be responsible for that happening. YOU could be responsible for the Cubs winning the World Series.

    Who doesn't want to be at the two concerts that could break the curse of the billy goat?

    I know I want to be there.

    Eddie's gonna perform a new song about the curse called Billy Goat at Wrigley. It will actually just be Dirty Frank with different lyrics, it's gonna be awesome. (I know a guy who knows Eddie's brother)

    I lived north of Chicago for like 6 months and frequented the city often. It was charming and amazing. I have been back several times since. Highly recommended.

    I definitely Will Not be making the short easy trip up to Chicago......gross ! Please don't go people

    40,000 Chicagoans!? When I went to the United Center shows in 2009 I barely heard 40 Chicagoans in that venue. Ironic that the first show was dedicated to a recently passed friend of Jeff's - the whole venue must've known, as they were deathly silent!
