    1) Clear Channel doesn't own music venues. It used to when it owned Live Nation

    2) Live Nation is already the owner of Alpine

    to be clear, even if you ponied up the 8.5 mil, you would have the same amount of control over booking shows as you do right now

    basically asking for 4,826,250 for the right to renegotiate the lease with livenation in 5.35 years, with livenation already putting the screws to the landlord by pulling its biggest acts

    no thanks

    No DMB at alpine in 2014. No Phish at alpine, apparently for the foreseeable future (according to Chad, who to be fair stated pretty clearly that he was passing on a rumor).

    I think those things are related to the lease being up in ~5 years.

    And if they aren't related, even so they certainly don't help the new landlord's position when the lease is up.

    I thought Phish and DMB not playing Alpine was Capshaw's doing, so he could get fat bags of money from Northerly Island.

    That makes no sense.

    So the tenant booking fewer big acts is a good thing for the new lease negotiation? Got it.

    Re: Alpine Valley can be yours for $8.5 Million

    This makes me sad. As a 16 year old, my buddy and I made our first dmb trip to alpine 8 years ago, and every year they've been there since then. It was like my first taste of real freedom and is where i really started to love their shows.

    I went to northerly island this summer and it was terrible; the atmosphere, crowd, concert were all just meh. At alpine they didn't even need to play the "best" songs for everyone to be having a good time. the lawn is where it's at at alpine, and the complete opposite at NI.

    I'm driving past Alpine as we speak & am filled w/ sadness. No Alpine with DMB is like having no Scottie Pippen during the Bulls dynasty. I hope this gets sorted out. Other than the backdrop at Northerly Island, I thought the venue was terrible. Long live Alpine Valley.
