    I would rather just not see them. Not enough upside.

    Camden Yards might be nice but random ballparks around the country is when the ballpark thing would jump the shark for me. 
    Besides Wrigley, Fenway, Yankee Stadium and maybe Philly and LA, do you really think this band could fill out stadiums in other MLB cities? I know we in the 10 Club are nuts and willing to travel to multiple shows, but a stadium would hold 40-60,000 fans versus an arena or amphitheater that is closer to 20k. If they only played a handful of gigs this year? Yes, those would sell out stadiums. But playing 20 shows in North America...fans can be more selective with traveling, and I don't see 40,000 in Cleveland and then in Pittsburgh a few days later.

    if they played IG Field here in Winnipeg (capacity without field seats is 33K), I'd go. I saw U2 at our old stadium and it was good.

    Me either. California only having 2 ballpark shows would probably sellout. Rogers Centre in Toronto may sell out both nights if there are no shows close by though that is not a sure thing. It would still sell a ton though.

    It's a fair point.

    I think the band knows that most fans prefer steak (arenas) butwill settle for hamburger (ballparks) if that’s the only thing on the menu.

    Yes.  did you see Green Day's tour they just announced?  any of those cities you don't think PJ sells? maybe Texas but even that I think they would do ok.

    that being said yes bring them back indoors.

    I went to one of the Fenway shows in 2016. It was fun. Anymore baseball stadium shows at this point are the band milking fans for money by playing places with terrible sight lines and sound so they can cram in another 20000. These amphitheaters were built for a reason. 
    I agree with this, the Fenway show was fun for me, but sight and sound do not come close to an indoor arena experience.

    I doubt they would play Cleveland and Pittsburgh, it would be one or the other.  Similar, I don't think they would play Baltimore and Philly, one or the other. I think it would be pretty spread out.  Atlanta might be the only show in southeast. Miami only Florida show. Texas may get two, But I could see it only being Houston. Etc.

    If properly promoted, Houston and Dallas ballparks would EASILY sell out.  Don't underestimate the Texas Jamily.

    People used to seriously argue on here that Pearl Jam couldn't sell out Fenway. A tour like Green Day and Weezer just announced might prove challenging, but Green Day and Weezer are likely to find that out, too.

    It seems like promoters have started going to one venue bigger for bands than they used to.  Not just arena/stadium bands, but younger bands I thought should play a theater go ballroom.  Billie Eilish sold out 2 nights at the Aragon this year (I would've expected her to play a theater) so they moved her to one show at United Center.  Crazy.
    Come on @dimitrispearljam, don't go dark on us because of that ****er :(

    to me, ballpark shows =/= no shows at all.  If there is one driving distance and on an optimal date (which i doubt will happen), I might go.  Its not worth precious vacation resources and money.  

    I understand the economic$ behind it and the band's apparent lack of desire to schedule a lot of dates and travel.  But it is just not for me.  I get like 20% of the typical enjoyment out of these ballpark shows and I end up getting stressed out more (crowds, lines, etc).  Im sure the shows will probably do fine without me and others who have ballpark fatigue... but in my opinion, if this is the norm, it is a poor chapter in this band's history/legacy.  

    I also have never been shut out of a PJ show, whether it is 10c sale, public sale, fellow fans, or secondary market.  10c tix are easier to obtain for ballpark shows, but I would take 95% of public sale tickets for an arena show over a great number of 10c tickets for these ballpark shows.
