I'd sell my soul if they did a secret HOB show.

Maybe a benefit again - $1000 a ticket?

I'd pay it. No joke. I tried to get in on that show and would have paid it too. I'm friggen nuts

Make it a second show in London. I doubt the Budweiser Gardens is busy in the middle of July.

Not challenging anyone at all, because I have absolutely no idea, but I am curious as to why another show at Wrigley would be completely out of the question? Assuming that it is ok for Wrigley to host concerts on weeknights, as another poster mentioned about Elton John, why could they not play the Thursday night? Again, to be 100% clear, this is not a challenge to anyone, I am just trying to understand if there is something definitive that would completely rule it out.

its the middle of baseball season! And even though that home team sucks ass and is a joke of a club they need to remove all the flooring from the outfield and let the grass get water and sun before the loser Cubs come back home for games. Also I bet the stage takes 24 hours to set up/break down. Just not practical.

Cubs are on a road trip all of the following week

The Elton John/Billy Joel shows were in 2009. There have been 9 shows since with 2 more scheduled and none have been on anything other than a Friday or a Saturday. As it currently stands, every concert, sporting event, movie night, etc. at Wrigley Field has has to be approved by the City Council so I'm guessing that the neighborhood, alderman, city, or even the Cub's themselves didn't like something about weekday shows and has decided against having them again.

Fair enough and I have heard this as a reason why before, but if the second show was the night before the first, isn't all of that mitigated? I might be wrong about this but I believe the Cubs play there last game at Wrigley on the 14th, so isnt a concert on the 18th feasible?

Anyhow, I think we all know the reality is that it won't happen, but it's fun to keep the possibility alive!

I'm not saying they 100% won't, but if there was a second show to be held at wrigley it would have been announced by now...they could play Thursday or Sunday but usually the second date isn't spaced out with a different artist in between so it would be a Thursday most likely. My bet is a smaller show somewhere unless they hit up chicago again in the fall

pearl jam just set the record for the fastest concert to sell out at wrigley, that dude playing the next night has plenty of seats left, they should move him to next weekend of the 26th and let PJ play the 20th.
