    A Wrigley mention? I say it every time stadium rumors get thrown out there and I haven’t been disproven yet…
    we always know about stadium shows, at least Wrigley, several months before hand. 
    I’m a nobody, but do have some ins at Wrigley and nothing has been talked about. The Wrigley thing has become too expensive and played out for most bands. 
    Doesn’t mean no, but I’d be very shocked at this point if they are playing Wrigley this year. 
    What if Ed was giving us a hint (beyond the 34 homage/hometown love) over the past 2 years by wearing the Walter Payton Bears jersey?🤔
    Are we back to Soldier Field?

  • I really enjoyed the slightly smaller arenas in Fort Worth, Austin, Baltimore, and MGM. Reading 2004 was so fucking cool with 8-9k in an arena, can’t imagine what those small Canadian shows were like. The big trade off is you’re not gonna get an insanely loud crowd

    Australia and NZ shows in Gold Circle were far from intimate....

    Obviously, but less enjoyable than indoor arenas, not to mention even smaller indoor venues.

    Yeah, the distance between the stage and the rail at those shows looked crazy far.

    That rail in the Aussie shows looked crazy long. Basically, it's like an Oprah rail giveaway!

    I got to see so many shows in 2003 and 2006 because of this. We will never see that pace again. It was hella fun while it lasted.
    First show: Mansfield N1 1998
    Last show: Pittsburgh N2 2025
    Show count = 80

    And $40 tickets. That really was the prime. I was just running up numbers.
