Do we start panicking about the weather forecast yet or no? I can't remember the protocol.

    A week out is a good tell. 

    I’ve been keeping tabs on the weather for that weekend for the whole month of August and it seems like Thursday is really up in the air… 

    80% chance of “afternoon” showers.

    I once started an Alpine weather thread. The mods made it a sticky! The thread then lasted about 5 minutes, because everyone on this board went  ballistic because SPEEDY had a "sticky thread" . Hahaha

    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Yeah, 2018 (N2) was a cluster. The inner concourse was packed like sardines, and I lost my spot on the rail. However, once the storms passed and they came out on stage, it was heaven. Last I saw (for 8/29), thunderstorms in the morning/afternoon, and a chance of rain in the evening.

    I was not at the show in 2013... mine was from 2018 and the picture of the people under the bleachers, those were not refurbished until 2014-2015..

    Ya this sucked. Was so hot and claustrophobic. Absolute bliss when the show started afterwards

    I had a 200 level in 2018, just high enough to be covered by the upper deck.  Best seats in the house that night, that’s for sure!

    Got it. The weather and delay was much worse in 2013.

    Yeah, those of us in the pit got corralled behind the stage. Seeing this video again makes my blood boil. By the time we exited the inner concourse, the pit was already 2/3 full already. With hundreds of people storming into the pit from all angles, security did not have the manpower to check for bracelets. Those f***ers running through the reserved seats to get into the pit can eat a bag of..., well, you know. Sorry...still salty. Great show nonetheless!

    Note to anyone with a good spot at Wrigley... never post something like this until the show's over. 99% certain I jinxed myself because a few minutes later we all cleared off the field. Luckily I got an okay spot on the mad dash back in.

    I stayed on field as long as I could but finally got yelled at but I refused to go down in that scary anxiety inducing concourse so stood amd got poured on in stands for awhile before I found a place to stand under the roof lines. 

    Mad dash back to GA I was like..I'm gonna die here aren't I. Ha..that was my first GA experience but ended up not too bad on stones side and got killer photos

    Man, being packed in like sardines in the narrow concourse of Wrigley with high humidity (I had been living in Vegas for the previous 16 months before that show) was absolutely miserable.  But that opening set of songs, GTF, Why Go, Go, Last Exit, was incredible.  Well worth the wait.
