    I defer to pearljammr78 with respect to life in Fresno, although I do find a lot of the gratuitous shots taken at the city by others in this thread who have almost certainly never been there to be somewhat annoying.  One thing that really bears mentioning though is that Fresno is a city of over a half-million people, with over a million people in the MSA centered around Fresno.  It also has a large university of over 25,000 students.  Whatever Fresno's flaws, as attested to by pearljammr78, it's not a one-stoplight town as some people here seem to think.

    Anyway, a question for pearljammr78: you clearly don't like living in Fresno so, I'm curious, what keeps you there?  Job?  Family?  Spouse's family?  The fact that Tom Seaver was born there?  A combination of the aforementioned?  Something else altogether?
    Definitely Tom Seaver. What else could it be. Lol

    seriously all the above mentioned things. So the feeling of being stuck here makes it so much worse. Grew up in the foothills and mountains near here but those have and continue to be destroyed by meth related crime and sickness along with other addictions and fires in the mountains. Destroying the one place I find peace here. Some days are better than others and bless those that can find good here. My negativity drowns me daily. 

    K enough serious talk. Less than 24 hours till our faces being melted. Let’s fucking go!!!!

    It’s nothing personal towards the area, it’s likely blue dot available ticket envy, something we haven’t seen before with PJ. Back east we have an enormous population, an outsized fan base, and are scraping by with two shows total, one of which tickets were almost  impossible to get. If they make it up to us here, it will be by playing giant 150 year old baseball stadiums with no GA…

     Fresno region looked great on Goliath. Enjoy the show!

    Anyone know how much parking is at the arena? Or if there are places around there to park and avoid that?

    And please, no full album show or Mankind. Lol
    I'd be thrilled with a Binaural anniversary show, but no chance without Matt.

    I went to a comedy show at save mart center last month. Parking was $20.  Not sure about tonight. I’m guessing about the same

    why is every show special without matt cameron? laughable
    Not even talking about the drummer situation.  That actually makes it even more different.  Thank you.

    The non-Matt shows should have defaulted to acoustic/Benaroya style shows.  Lot easier for a sub to play that style.  Plus, I would kill for a full acoustic show, so it's a selfish wish too.

    Tempers are wearing thin. Let's hope some robot doesn't kill everybody.
