    Do people think they would sell out a stadium "tour" with multiple shows in regions?  Obviously, they could sell out Fenway, Wrigley, and Safeco. But say they played Fenway and then stadiums in NY, Philly, DC......I'm not sure they are selling those out.  I could be totally wrong.

    I'm thinking 3-4 stadium shows with arenas mixed in.  


    Is it wrong to say that stadiums are the new sheds? Stadiums being the new "outdoor" option and arenas for cities where outside shows aren't feasible?

    I think the US will have summer stadium shows and arena shows October/November time.
    Agreed.  Based off of the way the band does things lately and the cities that are due, here’s my prediction:

    cleveland, Columbus, pittsburgh, DC x2, Richmond, Raleigh make up, Charlotte, then over to Atlanta x2 and Nashville (both ATL and Nashville had scheduled shows cancelled due to Bonnaroo in 2016), down to NoLa for Voodoo fest (PJ at Voodoo is clockwork at this point)

    then a 2 week break and 2nd leg that mirrors 2013 west coast tour



    Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh would be a dream come true! (Actually, it would. I had a dream last night that they were about to take the stage in Pittsburgh. I had another one where a three-city tour was Ottawa, NYC x2 and Columbus...so go figure.)

    However... the other guy mentioned Indianapolis as getting missed. Because Pittsburgh was on the last album tour, what if Indianapolis was in place of Pittsburgh??


    Columbus really has two good options... Nationwide Arena which is downtown and near a lot of bars and the Schottenstein Center which is at Ohio State's campus and not near anything really. While a Wishlist Foundation tailgate party would be fun, I'm not sure I see it happening.

    I’m thinking this as well. I can’t imagine they would only do a few stadium shows. My guess is a Midwest / west coast tour late fall. 
    Doubt it will be October with baseball playoffs unless things have changed with Eddie since the Cubs won. Either going to be August/September with the ballpark shows sprinkled in or a November/December tour with a summer ballpark showing imo.

    Yeah definitely agree with nothing in October. Either before or after.

    If they play Raleigh(which they should) I hope they let those members that had tickets to the now cancelled show get the option to get guaranteed tickets if they want.

    Cleveland and Columbus are both due. Wouldn’t make sense on the same tour due to the proximity. But one needs to happen. I’d think they’d sprinkle in some arena shows during the stadium shows.

    This could be a possibility. 
    But in the case of PJ I'm  thinking baseball parks rather then football stadiums. Baseball parks would be around 50,000 capacity while football are at 70-80,000. Also baseball parks are more easily defined as being "cozy".

    If you use your imagination a bit, a baseball stadium already has a shape similar to the sheds of the 80s and 90s.

    Personally, I'd prefer them to football stadiums...but the arena shows work fine, sooo...

    It doesn’t seem like a better venue than the amphitheaters, but I guess people seem to like it.  Much rather see a show at an amphitheater than Wrigley.

    I think it's that most people are willing to see them anyhow. Thus more tickets are sold. Thus, more money for the band. Throw in a night at "historic" Wrigley or Fenway (or insert your favorite team) and that is added fuel to some fires.

    If PJ were to play the local wastewater facility, I'm there. Amphitheater, I'm there. United Center, I'm there. It's not strictly about the sound for me though obviously better sound is better. But the fact is, if anyone on these boards lives within 90 minutes of Wrigley, or the UC or Tinley Park or the Alsip wastewater treatment facility and PJ plays there, we ALL (99% at least) will be there.

    I agree... im not a big fan of stadium shows...but im sure bands prefer to sell 40,000 tickets per show if they can

    I mean, it is Alsip after all. At the wastewater treatment facility. I'd guess it to be a crappy poster.

    I'm still holding onto hope that the Aldean concert opened the door for PJ to play Between the Hedges someday.
    It's been twenty five years since the played Legion Field so they're due for a return date!

    July 21 weekend, Foo Fighters are in Boston.

    I've put way too much thought into this tour. I'm a big baseball fan, and obviously love Pearl jam, so this is pretty interesting to me...here are my thoughts..

    I think PJ will need a week or 2 to reset after Europe. I also think for the build up and show set up/sound checks there may have to be spacing between stadium shows of a couple weeks each, so I doubt there are back to back weekends....then again it is 2018, and things can be done quicker, is just my guess. Also, I've eliminated any non weekend dates for stadiums.


     July 28 -Safeco Seattle  - Also possible on Aug 25 weekend, but makes no sense to Chi-Sea-Bos run in 3 weeks (see below). Also possible Aug 11 weekend if there is no OSL appearance.

    Aug 4 - No idea - Only big North American festival that could fit on the Aug 4 weekend is Lolla in Chicago. That is not happening if they are doing Wrigley. Other Aug 4 date is Coors Field in Denver. Doesn't have the ballpark history of the other stadiums or hometown draw of Seattle...but logistically could make sense. AT&T Park in SF is free, but....

    Aug 11 - Outside Lands Festival - SF - No real rumours on this aside from it making tremendous sense. Been a long ass time since they have been to OSL, and its a big festival they could easily headline. Dodger Stadium and Safeco are open this weekend too. Could they do Thurs/Sat in Seattle at Safeco...and Sun night at OSL, logistically can it happen?

    Aug 18 - Wrigley Chicago (this is a 75% lock if there is a Wrigley show this summer. Only date aside from Labour Day that would work (Cubs home every other weekend in Aug) , and Boston on Sept 1 weekend seems a lock from the solid rumour)

    Aug 25 -Yankee Stadium - NY, just because it would be three stadiums in 3 weekends...and maybe too close to Boston? But then again it is the east coast and there are a tonne of 10s that would fill those shows.

    Sept 1 - Boston Fenway (Fenway insider has this as the date. Sounds 75% credible. If Not Aug 25 or Aug 11 are open.

    Sept 8 - Ohana - Last year this was the Ohana date, seems to be a Eddie staple.

    Sept 15 -LA - Dodger Stadium - Again, no credible rumours on LA at all, aside from its a cool ball park to play. Can save LA for when it's cooled down a bit, big enough area and draw that they can do it post Labour day and still fill the shows. If PJ Doesn't play OLS on Aug 11, that could also be the LA dates if there are any.

    Fenway, Wrigley, somewhere Seattle-ish, and possibly  another location are the most credible rumors so far, based on hints. Since they'll be in Europe for a month, ending in mid July, it seems unlikely that they would play US shows in July... based on recent history.

    August and September seem right for ballparks and outdoor venues. I'm wondering if they'll do Wrigley and Fenway again, and possibly Safeco (which hasn't been specifically hinted at). Unless I missed something (very possible), there haven't been many solid leads to support any Stadiums beyond Fenway and Wrigley. 

    Safeco is a possibility, as is Outside Lands, but someplace "cool" was mentioned. I'm wondering about The Gorge or Red Rocks.
