Tix to a 500 seat Pearl Jam show, or Superbowl tix...

    Live music always trumps sports in my book.

    But that's just me.
    E agora? Faz xixi na mão e deita fora!

    If I was guaranteed a front row seat/position, I would take the concert.

    Why? The Super Bowl is one time I feel like would be best enjoyed with a group of friends and watching on TV.


    I'm a die hard Packer fan...my family has had season tix since the 50's and I go out for one game a year from NY...although this year I'm coming all the way from Istanbul to catch the opener against the Bears and then hopefully the two shows in Seattle. I'm also making it to the London show in August...I'm going to be quite spoiled this summer/fall.


    Football in a dome just isn't real football...a game at Lambeau, Arrowhead, or Soldier...err I mean Bank One (sellouts ;) ) would be far more enjoyable IMO...a championship game for your team at home would be a stronger bet for me than a neutral site with controlled conditions.


    Also, like others have said, you never lose with Pearl Jam...having your team drop the Superbowl would be crushing.



    The fact that Pearl Jam has never had a concert on Super Bowl Sunday in the US makes this a moot point...they will obviously be watching the game or at least realize it would be stupid to have a show on the same night.


    But, if you want to dream the scenario that would never happen and both things were given to me for free (transport/hotel/tickets)...and both happened on the same night, I would take the Super Bowl tickets for sure...simply because its much more expensive and having your own team in the Super Bowl might never happen again in your lifetime. It would have to be 50 yard line...about 10 rows back though ;)

    As an Eagles pan, I have to go superbowl. I have a weird view of this. I feel that the show is only as large as the people in front of you. So if I'm in the 10th row and 500 people are in front of me, its a 500 person show. If I'm on the rail, its a 2-3 seat show. I know its an odd theory, but having been to 200-300 concerts in my life, this is my conclusion: front row at a huge stadium show is better than the back of a 500 seat club. GO EAGLES! :mrgreen:

    This is a tough one. I'm a huge New England Patriot fan. Born and bread in Massachusetts. It would depend I guess. If I could have a seat in the first 5 rows for Pearl Jam then I'd take the concert otherwise I'd see my boys in the Superbowl!!

    My super bowl was the Texas v. USC Rose Bowl and I wouldn't have missed it for even PJ. Still can't believe I was there!

    Hook 'Em

    That was a helluva game. I'm still crying over the Buckeyes blowing their lead over Texas in the last few minutes of play this past bowl season. :(

    we've had some good game against the big 10 recently.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    the Superbowl moves PAINFULLY slow if you're actually there.

    Not that I'd pass up Superbowl tix if offered, I'd freakin' love to go, but, if I had to choose between the 2, the PJ show.
    +1

    the superbowl is the most overrated game in the nfl. seriously who wants to go to a football and have to be in the stadium at 3pm and wait around for 5 hours and sit there watching shitty pop artists.

    ahhh, but what if PJ were the halftime show?

    When the Pats won in 2001, I got to admit, having U2 as the halftime show was pretty fucking fantastic ... indeed, it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

    That be cool if pj did that. I'd enjoy it and then enjoy the bitching on here

    concert, and I LOVE my Chicago Bears.

    why? because I can watch the SuperBowl at home.

    Wow.. you would DVR your team if they were in the Superbowl. Don't call them your Bears lol.

    you're judging my fandom now? I guess that means that based on your answer, you're not a PJ fan.

    I'll watch Pearl Jam at halftime while watching the Browns in it :mrgreen:

    But like the previous Browns fans said....probably no time soon. Although I do like Mangini more than most people it seems

    I'm a Lions fan, so it would be pretty amazing if they were to make it to the Super Bowl. Hell would have to freeze over first. I saw Pearl Jam in a 1500 seat venue once. It was amazing and I gotta say even fewer people would be unbelievable. Two once in a lifetime opportunities. That decision would be really hard. I'd probably go with Pearl Jam, but it would be a very close call.

    ....hahahaha Lions in the Super Bowl. You're crazy.

    For a "real" fan, the Super Bowl is the worst game of the year. Ok that's an exaggeration, but... 1) You don't have the home crowd electricity regardless of whose team your for, that adds so much to a game. 2) The Super Bowl commercial breaks make the game really staggering 3) It's just so commercial. I can't really think that I'd have had a better time watching the Giants beat the Pats had I been there as opposed to in my living room with my dad other than being able to brag about being there and who cares about that?

    Pearl Jam, and it's not close. 500 seats?

    Call me a seagull from Finding Nemo, cause I'd be shouting "mine, mine, mine." ;)

    I'm glad I've met other PSU fans that are actually somewhat classy human beings and represent that school the way it deserves. :roll:

    I couldn't care less about the Super Bowl. Now if you make it tickets to the college football national championship game with the Buckeyes playing... I'll take that over PJ. Or Tigers world series baseball tickets.

    We both know Tigers in the WS is a Looooooooong shot.... :mrgreen::mrgreen:

    I hope that's not true... I'm starting to sweat now that the central is as close as we all thought it would be going into this season ;)

    no brainer for me, PJ of course. SB may be a huge event, but PJ at a 500 seat venue, can't pass that up

    I agree with this to an extent. I would love to see my team at home [in person] in the AFC Championship game, more so than the super bowl

  • DewieCoxDewieCox Posts: 11,432
    PJ...... The SB commercials and overall TV production help give PJ the edge, for me.

    Are the Vikings playing? If so, then the Super Bowl tickets. Ditto Maple Leafs in the Stanley Cup Finals, Manchester United in Europe/versus any big English club (or Man City) or the Blue Jays in the World Series.

    I've seen Pearl Jam in a 500-seater, anyway. ;)
