    I'm not one to gloat. Simply trying to give a heads-up to others here. Maybe it is just for the Air & Water show? Can't hurt to book a room!

    Would it make more sense that they play Century Link Field and not Safeco?  The band partners with the Seahawks often on antipoverty initiatives.  Plus scheduling would be easier. Any thoughts?

    Funny, i had the same thought after my last post. I am pretty sure it will be Safeco though. PJ is yet ti play a huge football stadium in North America, and i dont think they will start soon. 70-80 thousand people vs 45 thousand for ballparks. 

    They have used a Mariners logo on merch recently. The intimacy of ball parks is quite a bit different than a huge stadium like the Century Link. Feels like the band, Eddie especially has a tie to baseball.

    What ball parks are intimate?  The majority of the crowd is still miles from the stage. I just hope it doesn't become the norm.

    As kerbjack said, more reasonable size for them.  I'll add that Safeco has a retractable roof, making it a MUCH safer bet.  Mike and the CCFA have had a good relationship with the Mariners, even giving Mike TV spots every now and then on the Mariners Pregame broadcast.  Also the band has a seemingly strong relationship with the MLB as a whole.

    Are there any other Midwest rumors with legs other than Wrigley?  Strongly considering flying back home to Seattle if a Safeco Show happens...however I could probably pull off more shows if I don't have to fly.

    The Mariners logo is a dead giveaway for Safeco. I am just surprised that they are doing this when less then a year ago they were putting all of their attention to Key Arena and its refurbishment. They still could put on shows there during the full NA tour (if this even happens) but it would be highly unlikely imo.

    Just got a text from a friend very very high up the ladder at Safeco telling me to plan on visiting him this summer! He apologized he couldn’t give me dates yet but said it would be announced soon! No bs, just thought I’d let everyone know it sounds official

    Sure sounds like SafeCo is a lock now.  I'm surprised that Wrigley is rumored again.

    Are we done with Europe?  Figured Amsterdam II was a lock but was hoping for the Barcelona II longshot.

    Just a heads up for everybody booking a hotel for August 18th, one reason the price might be high is because hotel websites collect data from your browser's cookies to determine the days of highest interest, make sure you go incognito as to not contribute to jacking up the price for that day. That being said, I've got mine booked and I'm glad I'm not the only one crazy enough to book before the announcement lol

    I'd love to go to Safeco. But it sounds like they might be part of the same lottery, in which case I'll have to prioritize the hometown Wrigley shows.

    Nutjobs? If saving hundreds and hundreds of dollars over the years and getting first choice at hotels makes me a nutjob I will wear that hat with pride lol!

    isnt each show treated as its own lottery? I thought the priority was what your seating options are for one particular show? So if I wanted to go to fenway, wrigley and safeco I would have to put down which show I want first? I thought it is basically a lock to get seats at all shows, just not necessarily you first priority of seats?
