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

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.
