I don't agree with this trend I'm seeing of venues and artist banning cell phones from concerts/performances. Jack White, Chris Rock and some venue in Houston seem to have all jumped on board with the idea of the use of cell phones distracts and takes away from the performance. That may be true, but I don't like the idea of handing over my phone in some coat check fashion or putting it in some bag with a lock for the duration of the show. I feel this is a way over reach.0

Heading to the DMB show on Saturday. Should we expect a lot of traffic due to the Superbowl? We'd like to park in the ramp so we have a place to put our coats during the show, assuming it won't be a cluster getting downtown.0

DMB is in St Paul, so traffic should be a little easier. But parking for the XCel is always kind of a cluster. Recommend getting there early, or consider taking public transport or an Uber.

If I was planning on heading there on Saturday I'd probably take public transportation, or try to find a spot to park on the street up by the Cathedral/Summit Ave and walk to the X. There is a "hidden" stairway near the James J Hill House that goes from Summit Avenue to near St. Joseph's Hospital off West Seventh Street that you can take. The steps are steep so, be careful if you're swilling a bunch of booze.0 -

Anyone thinking of PJ shows in 2018 OTHER THAN Wrigley? Those will be the only 2 for me....but it is driveable, which beats all the others....even if it has been done before x 3.

Missoula sounds incredible, but I'm sure hotels and airfare/travel will be a nightmare, especially because I think people will view this show as the Moline of this leg.
Fenway sounds great but not doable for all the same reasons as the other two (too expensive, too hard to get tickets etc). I monitored the 2016 ticket/hotel situation to see if I could score an easy flight/hotel etc, and I literally never found any tickets available to even justify researching flights/hotels. This is always a tough ticket.
Chicago is basically a "home" show for the Minnesota fans these days, and that's not necessarily a complaint. Chicago is a fun easy drive/flight with lots to do in between shows. Sort of a no-brainer. Also, it will be sort of cool to be able to say you've done all 5 Wrigley shows. 5-5 in baseball terms. That's a hell of a game at the plate.
We are also doing Europe (sort of a last minute decision for us), and are catching the London shows.
I'm not sure why the disdain for all the ballpark shows. True, arena shows feel like a true rock show, so I understand if people feel like they're going to be missing something. But the ballpark shows feel like an event. Something big to look forward to (almost like PJ20) and the set lists have been as good as any. Think about how great the 2016 Wrigley shows were...beautiful summer night, beer, great setlists, great friends, in a great world-class city? Can't beat that.1998-06-30 Minneapolis

I concur with the reserved seats. Its always tempting to go for pit to be part of the craziness up close. But, like you mentioned, going to a PJ show is an all day event. The day of is full of fellowship and great fun that when the show starts, I want my own predetermined space and seat.
I'm 33. I'm an adult. I'm over lines.0 -

I was being sarcastic. I totally know what you mean. There are a lot of people in that little nook of the country. It would be awesome to see them in a stadium or arena in Philly, NJ, NYC, Boston, Baltimore or DC area, but........so.many.people.
