There's no real talk of this happening, although current ownership said the park can last another 30-40 years and then it needs to go.tragabigzanda wrote:I think a new park in Boston would be great.

But, yeah, I'm one of a growing contingent of Boston fans who would like to see Fenway go and be replaced with a modern ballpark in the city. That said, count me in for this show. 'Cause, Pearl Jam.
Off-topic: What are some great modern ball parks? The Royals field in KC is really nice; and I have fond memories of watching the Orioles in Baltimore shortly after the stadium opened.

I'll need it. I'm potentially putting in for 3 shows on this tour that doesn't yet exist.Chris_H_2 wrote:let's go drown our sorrows in a good beer ruddoE.H.

Well, Charlotte is probably closer to you (not Columbia SC though?) but Raleigh is the better arena.tragabigzanda wrote:If the rumored dates are true, I'll be in Asheville when they pass through.

Cool. As far as distance Columbia would probably be best, yeah. It also will give a more "personal" feel, smaller arena, etc.tragabigzanda wrote:Oh yea, we could do SC as well, hadn't considered that. But Raleigh would be good, because that's where my in-laws live.E.H.

It is only 2,000 seats less than Charlotte and Raleigh, but Columbia probably won't sell out and it just seems more personal there.tragabigzanda wrote:So there really is no ideal scenario. I'm intrigued by the "smaller venue" in SC...E.H. Ruddock wrote:well shit I guess Charlotte is closer than Columbia to Asheville.
