No. They haven't done anything like this since the caravan, why would they do it now?

As far as seating goes, I'm willing to bet they'll do a GA Floor, just like Phish did. Seems to work out great. If they don't do that, it's folding chairs and those always suck.

Give me $150 and your party can crash at my house.

Do people (locals) even go to this anymore?

The Chicago show will have a GA pit, reserved seats and of course the lawn.
You can't go wrong at Deer Creek. I personally like this place better then Alpine.

I wouldn't travel just to come to this venue, unless you also want to make a trip to the city (which is fun).
Don't get me wrong we'll be going and looking forward to it, but it's no Alpine or Deer Creek. Or even DTE for that matter.

I'm not going to agree with you on this but I'm sure as hell not disagreeing with you either.
