    From sports columnist, Charley Walters: http://www.twincities.com/2017/11/18/charley-walters-greg-olsens-fox-appearance-doesnt-bother-vikings-kyle-rudolph/

    "A little birdie says the Twins, whose radio rights are returning to WCCO-AM, this week will make a major concert announcement for Target Field next summer. The Twins have held several country shows the past few years, but this one won’t be a country act.  Look for the Twins to hold several other concerts at Target Field next year, too."

    Eagles and Jimmy Buffett.  Book it.

    What's the obsession with wanting them to play Target Field?

    No obsession here.  Would just like a local show at Xcel, Target, TCF, First Ave, Palace, etc

    Target Field is located in Minneapolis, and I imagine would have better acoustics than US Bank Stadium.  PJ, please don't play US Bank Stadium!

    I'm local and would much prefer a show at the X. Baseball fields and football stadiums are lame. I understand the excitement about a GIANT show. But, really, I prefer an arena with a roof.

    Target Field is a great venue for sports and concerts.  Best in the Twin Cities for sports, and the buzz about PJ at Target Field - at least for me - is because of PJ's affinity for baseball and (apparently) for the Twins.  Beautiful sight lines, great concourses.  Mid summer night there can't be beaten with baseball as the focus.  With PJ?  Get outta here.

    As far as the whole ballpark vs. arena debate...I'll take PJ where I can get them.  Yes, that means festivals, ballparks or arenas.  I might have my preferences (arena), but two of my top shows all time were in 2016.  At a ballpark.  So while the hassle is bigger, I think it's untrue that you get a worse show if it's in a ballpark.

    When your favorite band is comprised of members who are all 50+, in the wake of Prince and Tom Petty (e.g. musicians who died too young), it's hard to be picky.  If they're willing to play somewhere, I'm hard pressed to object or complain.

    The other part of the PJ at Target Field buzz is, full disclosure, what I've been told by a friend at the Twins who has proven to be reliable at accurate with TC concert news.  He's told me that PJ and the Twins (whose ownership includes Bill Pohlad, who produced "Into The Wild") have had discussions before about a show there.  My source's words: "[PJ] has a standing offer to play there."

    So the buzz consists of it being a cool ballpark, and the fact that - again, for me - a belief that it's possibly not just a pipe dream and could realistically happen.

    but the X is sooooo faaaaaar for me.  The train takes like 45 minutes.  I sober up on the way to the show, and fall asleep on the way home.

    Kidding, kind of.  I'll take what I can get.  Ames, IA 2018 here we come!

    Pop country acts, Billy Joel and the eagles are the last few bands/artists at target field. 

    We can do A LOT better, Minnesota.

    Waiting to see what happens in the fall of 2018. I've heard some distant rumblings of U.S. dates after the summer European shows.
