    I don't care what venue they play as long as it's not a Festival ... shorter sets, a sea of sloppy teenagers on molly, terrible sightlines and sound ... no thanks

    Fenway 9/15 and 9/16
    Hartford 9/18
    Sea.Hear.Now 9/20

    that little run makes too much sense

    Fenway those dates doest make much sense to me

    If they do Fenway Tues and Weds in mid Sept tickets may be easier to get.

    School opens. Family responsibilities. Mid week shows. Possibly cold evening weather.

    Predicting a huge decline in fans willing to travel in comparison to 2018 and 16. 

    Fenway makes sense if it includes: 
    Summer
    Weekends
    Limited tourdates

     Seems like a waste considering all the shows they are already doing this year

    Definitely, that being said my last 5 shows have been ballpark shows so I’m stoked to see them in an arena again.

    Agree 100%. There's definitely a step down from arena to stadium, but stadium to festival is a full flight of stairs.

    I agree! All four Fenway shows so far have had a great vibe. The weather has been good (helps tremendously), and all over town there seems to be a buzz in the air. PJ fans everywhere. Has felt almost like a convention of sorts. Fenway II in ‘16 was the best overall concert experience I’ve ever had.

    All wishful thinking. 
    Well... that’s part of the fun, right?  Because if people aren’t here for fun I’m not sure why they are here.

    I'll take baseball stadiums over festivals any day of the week.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I have a preference for sheds & arenas. I like smaller stadiums. The sound gets jacked the bigger a place is.

    Eugene, OR Population: 168,916

    Yeah, about that...
    I saw them the first time (and only time) they played Eugene in 1991---as Mookie Blaylock opening for Alice in Chains.  I was in my senior year at U of O....about time they returned.  I did see that Tool was playing in Eugene.
    I bet that PJ could sell out Autzen Stadium...I know the Dead sold out multiple night shows when I was there.  
    With that said, they would certainly sell out the new basketball arena there-13,000 for a concert....2 hours south of Portland....

    Ballpark shows have been a lot of fun, but I'd be OK with them getting a break for a while as they tour for the new album. 
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    The 3 fenway PJ shows have all been a ton of fun, great vibes and a hell of a lot easier and less stress getting tickets.

    Would wrigley and fenway be examples of smaller stadiums?

    That's a great point that I had forgotten.  For me, it's six in a row I believe.  Definitely looking forward to Baltimore, in a small arena.  It's going to be great.  I love that 11-13k size.  JPJ, Hampton, Greenville, Baltimore, all awesome.  Although Greenville was a tad larger.

    I would guess so? I'm not trying to bash on stadium shows whatsoever. They make sense for the demand and more people can get to the shows. I'm glad people enjoyed themselves and had a great time. They're just not my thing. I took a chance and waited for Metallica to hit arenas and skipped their stadium tour also. That paid off. 

    Regarding the bootlegs, I don't like a lot of talking on bootlegs and the Fenway show I listened to had a LOT of talking, lol. Plus 2016 was just a weird PJ year for me. The Raleigh cancellation honestly soured my view on a lot of that Tour. I do plan on coming back to them after the show in OKC, though. I have to *get right* first dammit, haha. 

    I saw GN'R at BB & T Field in Winston-Salem, NC and the sound was dialed in perfectly for the size of that place - Capacity is around 32, 000. The other side of that is I caught DMB at RFK in DC a while back and the music was hitting me a second or 2 after the band played.

    Agree. Like others though I am excited for some arenas. I don’t think we hate ballpark, it’s just been all that’s offered lately.

    Oh I am not mad at all about seeing them in Baltimore in an arena, especially a smaller arena, it's gonna be awesome. Sad I couldn't get MSG tickets but I'll live.

    Have they played any stadium shows b2b? I thought all the recent baseball shows were two shows spread over three nights? Might help with the planning here.
    And based on this current tour it seems they prefer having a little break, granted the only three cities getting two shows are all b2b (Amsterdam being the third). I know arena shows in the Spring are always difficult with logistics and scheduling availability but just thought it was interesting they're spreading everything out.
