    So Pitt 1 was my only hit in the lottery. I think I'm actually going to just do the one show. Thinking we'll drive in, see the show...then find a hotel. Probably drive up to the falls on Saturday for the day. Then drive back home Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. Make a quick little fun 2 day-ish trip.

    Just need to figure out how to help my wife enjoy GA with her being 4'11". At Wrigley, we stood against the fence behind the ADA in the GA and it was an awesome view and she could see perfectly.
    I'm 5'6 and usually hate GA experiences for that reason, but Toronto against the back rail was amazing. The pit's small enough that even from there you still feel super close, and there was more than enough space between me and the rest of the pit crowd that I generally had a clear view of the whole stage. Didn't hurt that EV did a lap around the arena towards the end of the show and came running right by me. No idea if that's still a thing. I was hoping to land GA again this tour just to do that same exact thing, but no dice ha.
    Back of the pit for me from now on. Not worth the hours of waiting to get close to the front IMO
    Might as well get some awesome side stage seats at that point. You will have a better view and if you like to dip out to get a break you can do that easier. 
    I'm 6'6" so anywhere in the pit is the best spot in the house for me. Worth all the years smacking my head on things
    Wanna give some height to a 5”0 gal.. haha

    Oh man was that fucking good. First time I got sensory overload, like when I was 9 and went to my first Eagles game.

    Can’t wait to hear it live, the studio version is growing on me. I find a lot of their songs sound better live such as of the girl

    I really really really want them to play insignificance. It's so relevant these days.

    And immortality to make me ugly cry in the pit.

    Philly 2 I had side stage seats close to the stage and it was my favorite spot ever for a show.

    Went to Pittsburgh maybe 15 years ago as my wife ran a marathon.

    Did a tour of Heinz field 
    Did a tour of Three Rivers Stadium 
    Did a tour of the Andy Warhol museum 
    Did a tour of the Mr Rogers museum 
    Drank a bunch of Yuenglings as they weren’t sold in Massachusetts yet
    And yes, had a great sandwich at Primenti Brothers

    You really missed out if you didn’t have an Iron City or IC Light.

    You’ll be close to Point State Park and Market Square which has several bars / restaurants. Give Gaucho Parrilla a shot if you’re a meat eater. The hotel itself is downtown… I can’t tell you much else about it… sorry if this doesn’t help lol

    It's a better than average hotel. In terms of size I believe it's one of the three largest as far as rooms. Close and easy access to just about everything in the city.

    If I can score tickets we will probably cross paths at those breweries.  Enjoy!
