    Big difference between 13 and 18 - 13 was on a Friday. Can’t be playing at 1:30 on a weekday. Just don’t see Chicago doing this. Based on the most recent report I just saw (wife works for local news here) I hate to say but it’s looking real much like the show will be cancelled tomorrow night and refunds will be issued based on weather. 
    Why would you think cancelation and not moved to Tuesday?
    Because Cubs are back Thursday. It takes a lot to get the field back and ready to play. 
    They could do that. The tarp would have been over the field anyway. More concerning financially would be if they cancel after people can’t cancel rooms within 24 hours. Some of those rooms are 300+
    Certainly a concern for some fans - sadly not very much a concern for the decision makers on if to let a show occur or not.
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah...
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense...

    The headaches the weather is causing people who are attending is the best argument for returning to indoor arenas for future shows.  The stadium thing was cool but I think everyone who wanted to do it has had their chance.  Time to do a proper indoor tour. 
    I did Wrigley in 2013. Haven't been to an outdoor PJ show since (though in fairness, I haven't had many opportunities), but I did go to Seattle this year, and knowing that roof was there definitely played a role in my picking those shows.
    words seem so out of place.

    I didn't go to any of the Home Away tour because:
    1. Our daughter is starting high school and it ran time too close.  We did that with school in 2016 and it was a pain. 
    2. August weather.  Hot.  Humid.  Stormy. 

    We discussed it.  We had a great time.  However, we're holding for arenas.

    Has anyone called the 10c to ask?

    I think an announcement is a reasonable request at this point as my flight leaves Monday morning.  If they are not going to reschedule for Tuesday if Monday gets rained out I'd love to know before I get on the plane in the morning.  If they are going to try Tuesday I need to make plans to stay another night.

    They're not going to postpone the event today guys.  They'll wait till tomorrow - probably even tomorrow afternoon - to determine if the wind and lightening (the key factors here) will be sufficient enough to postpone the show or if they'll actually be able to play through rain (which they'd do w/o heavy wind and lightening)

    Not to jinx it, but it's looking slightly better:

    Make sure to look up the right zip...60613. It can make a big difference.

    Completely agree on timing of the decision - just want to know what plan B is if they decide Monday afternoon they can't play.  You gotta think they will play Tuesday.

    Looks like a “window” at 3 am - 6 am - -:)    Pretty sure they will do everything to play for fans - but this looks like a public safety risk and likely won’t be their call to cancel.  Forecast is within 24 hours now and is getting worse

    I wonder if they’d try to start early in anticipation of a delay to try to get a full show in. I.e get on at 630-7. Potential delay and finish up by curfew.

    I’m right there with you.  We did Wrigley in 2013 and Fenway in 2016.  I toyed with the idea of Fenway again but we have 4 kids going back to school and it’s cutting it too close.  I’m actually retiring in March and I’m hoping we get a decent tour in 2019 because I will have a ton of free time.

    I just don't see them doing a straight cancellation for two main reasons: primarily that this isn't a full tour where rescheduling would affect other dates, and secondarily that it's Chicago, so EV will do anything to make it happen. 

    Unfortunately, I'm usually wrong. Still hoping for all the travelers that it happens tomorrow as scheduled.
