    Yeah I prob wouldn't travel to see a stadium show.  But I'll never pass up an opportunity to see PJ and sleep in my own bed so I guess I'll be at Wrigley next year.

    Man, it would be a fuckin bummer if our Baltimore Arena make up is at Camden Yards. 15k v. 50k sigh, especially after the slap in the face of being replaced by Camden NJ two years ago.

    Slap in the face? Wasn’t this Baltimores fault for renovating?

    I'll probably go as Chicago is only a 3 hour drive but I'll probably regret it. I just don't like Wrigley for concerts...plus if it rains we're fucked. I don't want to relive that 2016 show delay.

    It is looking like we are going to have to pass on any Chicago shows this time around. We have to pay for the catering for a wedding in October. We will go to the make up date in Indy that we already have tickets for, but that will probably be the only show we end up attending.

    Likewise brother. I'm still on the fence...but man, every time I look at this picture, it brings mixed emotions. The setlist was ON FIRE after the delay...albeit a shorter one. However, inside the corridors was like a chapter out of Lord Of The Flies.

    yes it was...and yeah Jojo it was 2018...seems like it was a lot longer ago but I stand corrected.

    It was so fucking hot in there. No one could move and my wife had to go to the bathroom so I was separated from her for a long time which made me nervous :)

    I had GA.  Before the rain I was about 5 rows in front of Ed.  After the delay, I was at the back of GA.  Was still a great show!

    I guess I could have checked my date before posting...that makes sense though as I was thinking it was longer ago than just 2018.

    It sucked...glad they came back out though.

    I was in GA in 2018 and they chased us into the stands..I got poured on for quite some time before I snuck under a covered area by stairs going up into the 200s..no way I was going down into that concourse..my friend left me to go down in there and find someone and I thought I'd never see her again that night.

    Likewise...I was about 5 rows in front of Mike. After the delay, about 20 rows back from Stone. When we got let out of the "sardine can", I was like "How the F*** did the pit fill up so quickly?!!" Then, a few days after, I saw this video of the cattle stampede.

    But, I had to keep reminding myself that I had a better seat than 90% of the ball park. Like you said though, awesome show!

    That stampede was insane..never ran so fast. My spot was maybe 8 or so rows on Stone's side..I was lined up with Ed before the storm but probably no closer

    Thanks for posting the video. What a bizarro sequence of events. My buddy and I waited in queue all day for the rail. Prior to the delay we were second row in front of Mike. During the storm we retreated to seats and sat under ponchos getting soaked while the awesome couple in front of us passed/shared shots of peach schapps....peach schnapps in the rain never tasted so good, haha. As soon as they began allowing folks back onto the field I catapulted over the wall b/t third base and LF, landed on the rolled-up rain tarp and b-lined it for the rail. I wound up on the rail in front of Mike. My buddy wasn't so lucky nor were the new friends we'd met who had/earned the same spot earlier in the day. My buddy wound up about twenty people behind us but obstinate fans wouldn't allow him thru. I had to do a quick mental wrestling match: Fall back w/ my buddy or enjoy the rail at Wrigley. I stuck on the rail, carrying friends in spirit, and have lifetime memories (and a handful of Mike picks;) for having done so.

    What a night that was. Learned from past experiences and found a spot in the concourse that was against an entrance gate so there was a breeze and not so crowded. And I knew where to head when they were about to let us back on and my buddy got us maybe 3-5 rows in front of Ed. Hated the delay but it worked perfectly for us getting a better spot.... great times.

    We actually ended up in our exact same spot after the delay... on the rail that enclosed the ADA area... bizarre that happened.
