    I know we as a fanbase can be crazy, especially so when it comes to merch. I don't doubt this guy has been flooded with questions. But am I alone in thinking it's a little weird to post an official response to people's reactions to something that hasn't yet been officially announced? Feels like cart is fully before the horse.

    I agree, and also agree that he's probably just drained from all the comments he read about Fenway. However, I think he should just suck it up and let it go. He is running a business after all. If someone has a legitimate concern he should address, ignore all the other garbage. That post really does not sit well with me as someone who has been nothing but patient (and not to mention dropped an embarrassing amount of dough on Fenway merch lol). It feels like one kid messed up, and all the kids are getting scolded even though the rest of the kids had nothing to do with it.
    You just read my mind. Except for me dropping some dough at Fenway (which I would have if I had gone ;) )

    Merch trucks around the city just like the Fare Thee Well shows.

    They should fill ice cream trucks with merch and drive them around Chicago pumping Pearl Jam music to catch the attention of 10 Clubbers.
    this city is so filthy, like my mind in ways

    for the record... our merch experience at Fenway was painless and we got everything we wanted including the Thomas poster with our longest wait time in line being about 20 minutes... all of this was on Friday, the day of the show

    we literally could have purchased any of the advertised merch with little to no effort, just have to be a little smart about it....

    I personally hope the merch takes a step back to the late 90's/early 2000 tours.
    Couple of shirts each for both men/women, venue specific poster, and maybe one or two "other" items, whether it be hoodies, keychains, whatever.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    I was legitimately excited to see the Metro, I didn't get a chance in 2013 since I was in line the whole time. I guess I should've chosen a different emoji in my comment.

    Im not sure you will be able to see much, they usually sell the merch for shows in a small shop in between the actual entrance and the Smart Bar

    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I'm sure he is just stressed... there is no way he has dealt with rock band merch mania quite like this before...

    he just needs to chill... and realize the internet is full of trolls and douschebags...

    Good news is that if you are in line with a buddy you can take turns running into the G Man tavern for refreshments

    Ok, I understand what you mean. I wasn't aware of that. It's just an iconic place in my mental history that I've always wanted to see, even from the outside. Kinda like MSG was before May. Thanks for the info.

    Yeah, I am just guessing too, maybe they will open it up and have tables set up inside. What do I know. Just going off past experience

    I feel for him. Not a great year to have a popup shop exist around the stadium with all the activity around the stadium.

    5-6 months ago there was a huge flattened parking lot (where the McDonalds stood), perfect for a mega merch stand. But construction equipment is sitting in that space.
