Chicago rumor?

What is the nature of this CharterOne Pavilion rumor? I assume they wouldn't announce it until AFTER Alpine. My wife keeps wanting to go back to Chicago. She likes to shop and such, but for me unless I'm drinking some local brewery stuff, I don't really find it all that interesting. Throwing in a DMB concert would really make it more worth my while to go!

    Wrigley got announced during alpine so we'll just have to wait and see I guess. This rumor popped up before the tour. I'm not counting on it but if it happened I would die of excitement

    It would be great. The venue will be ready for it as they already have Phish and Buffet shows scheduled this summer using the new lawn configuration. It doesn't happen every tour, but many times DMB has done a September date in Chicago ('09 at Tinley, '10 at Wrigley) so it's certainly a possibility. Charter One is an awesome venue, would love to see DMB there.

    So what do you think, Sept. 13 and 14th?? busses have to head back east, this would be the Fri and Sat after the last show. Any Rumor dates anywhere yet?

    I heard this rumor at Deer Creek as well. Will be a tough call for me as that's the same weekend as Riot Fest, Buddy Guy, and the Iowa/ Iowa State game.

    Feel like that venue is way to small for DMB but if it happened, it would be sick. You can drive your boat up and park behind the stage and listen.

    you have to think they will play chicago this year, they have a huge following there and for them not to have a show this year there would be surprising...

    Well they did play at the United Center just last Winter. And there was no Chicago stop last Summer tour. I hope this rumor is true though!

    It's actually really cool what they've done, because they can change the configuration depending on the band. For the big bands like Phish and Buffet they can use the expanded lawn seating (I think total capacity ends up around 30,000) and for the smaller acts they leave the center grandstands in and keep the old configuration.

    I think the reason there was no Chicago stop last tour was because they knew they were going to play there in the winter, and figured the Alpine shows would suffice for the summer. They had previously played 3 large Caravan show the year before.

    You do realize the Alpine shows are considered as covering the Chicago market? Yes, they added Tinley in 09, and the caravans and Wrigley were special shows.

    They played Tinley every year from '95-'99, Soldier Field in 2000 and '01, Tinley every year from '02-'06, Toyota Park in '07 and '08, Tinley in '09, Wrigley in '10, Caravan in '11.

    Here are pics of the venue.

    Yes that is a fence between lawn/pav and its there to stay. Separate entrance for lawn, bathrooms, merch, concessions.

    Will report back after Buffett this weekend

    Wrigley was announced during Alpine in 2010 as a strategy so ticket sales wouldn't be drawn away from Alpine.

    I disagree though alpine being considered Chicago market...in 2003 they played them back to back

    Tinley 7/3
    Alpine 7/5-6

    Given they've played a Chicago date almost every year since '95, I would not consider Alpine the Chicago 'market' per se either, but there is no doubt that Alpine draws a large chunk of it's crowd from the Chicago area. I don't think they'd be able to do 2 nights there every year without that influx of people from the south.

    That's part of the reason that Alpine hardly has any shows there anymore. The massive size of the venue can't be supported by the light population density of the area, especially since Milwaukee also has the Marcus Ampitheater.

    I agree alpine hasn't had a ton of shows like they used to (literally every weekend)

    This year ZBB, DMBx2 & Buffet

    Thanks for those pics, I had only seen renderings of what it was going to look like so far.

    Going to two shows there this Summer, one with the new configuration and one with the old. Will be interested to see how they switch it up.
