    Read May on here but with Deer Creek solidly rumored for July 22/23, I'm guessing July 20, the Wednesday before Deer Creek. Just like last year.

    Solid anonymous source said it'll be in May. I'm going to trust them on that one, it sounds accurate

    May would be nice, tour opener even better (doubt that, though). Welcome to one of the most inactive tour threads!

    Maryland Heights is a nice venue. Been there many times.

    St. Louis is my new home venue as we moved here a few years ago. It really has been enjoyable as we don't have to travel to see the band and I always seem to get pit tickets from the warehouse. Last year I was home within 30 minutes of the last note being played by the band which the older I get seems to be hard to beat! The downfalls since I have been going which is 3 to 4 years are as follows. 1. There's no place to tailgate, they don't let you in until 430-ish and the parking lot is all asphalt. Every show I've been to has been in July so even if they allowed you to tailgate it would be just too hot. It is always a mid-week show, so you have to take work off. I have always felt like the tailgate is just under the experience of seeing the van the whole community is what makes everything so much fun and it lacks in St. Louis in my opinion. Even with the negatives it is still an awesome time the band gently plays very solid cents and I have a blast I'd recommend you give it a shot this year! I went to Bonner Springs for the first time last year and had a good time too! The area around the venue is pretty neat. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...0e1db07c3f.jpg I learned if I can make it through that heat I'll be able to make it through any heat for the rest of my life!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...b2bcdf08bb.jpg. The first picture is from Bonner Springs last year we were so close in the second picture is the poster from St. Louis last year which we framed and put in our family room it was really cool.

    I think, in a weird way, Friday make sense. Last years attendance was poor, but they have always had a decent following in STL. Maybe they think a Friday show will be a better draw at a place that has traditionally been a mid week venue. It's working for me. I wasn't planning on making the trip and just doing deer creek or Alpine, but a Friday show where my wife doesn't have to take off work the next day may get me there.

    I am all for a Memorial Day weekend show! That being said I am SHOCKED that they are playing a split venue on Memorial Day Weekend Maybe it is because I am from Upstate NY and they play SPAC there that weekend very often, and its a tradition that I am used to. I think that ALT is a big date for them so a big Saturday/Sunday show there may make sense. I am all for a nice 75 degree late May show versus a 40 degree freeze fest at SPAC. Cant wait to see what happens

    My 10 year old son and I were in the pit right up against the rail in STL. He got one of Carter's sticks after the first set. We had a blast. We'll be down there again for certain.

    We were right in front of the Lovely Ladies. He was a rock star for getting that stick. Two dudes wanted to take their picture with him and it. He was a trooper and stayed the whole show. We went three years before and didn't stay they entire night. More than okay for a 7 year old. Like I said, we'll be down there again.

    For those who have stayed at the casino before...how is it? Do they have a shuttle to the show? Is that free?

    As my home venue, I would be happy to be the liaison this year. Double check with the Hollywood casino, but yet they do offer a shuttle.

    Rooms are fine. Casino is smoky at times but the rooms are not close to the casino.

    Sightlines are fine. A new sound system was installed several years ago for lawn. I don't expect a huge crowd so all kinds of good seats/lawn spots should be attainable. Like all venues, end seats suck.

    Looking forward to this date as it will be my only chance at a show this summer unfortunately. Going to request some reserved and see what I get. I've heard good things about the venue and looks like some options for lodging around the area. Going to make a weekend of it and spend a day in St. Louis. May 29th can't come soon enough...

    I've never sat in lawn here, but even the upper level seats have a decent view.
