Never a worthless bump in the Alpine thread.

    Flew into Milwaukee yesterday for work this week. Had some free time yesterday so drove down I-43 to Alpine to see how it looked empty. They must have had an event recently on the VIP deck because they were cleaning the floors. I was able to walk right in on the deck that overlooks the pavilion. Had a great view of the theater with the changing trees behind it. Absolutely gorgeous...and also incredibly depressing.

    What a venue. Hard to believe we won't be back until 2018. Also concerned how Alpine will be until then. Without DMB they will maybe get 2-3 shows. Such a shame that this venue isn't used to its full potential.

    It really is a shame. Hopefully the reimerrgence of camping will spark some more interest in touring fests

    I still didn't hear much from the people who camped on site. Wanted to know if it was a viable option for future weekends

    What's up Alpine?! I took a super long Ants-break after Alpine in the summer and this is my first time checking back in.

    Flew out to San Fran and went to the Greek Theater shows at the end of August which was a blast. Really cool venue. Got "railed" for the first time ever for N1. Glad I did it and it was an awesome experience but also reinforced why I like a nice center reserve seat.

    Hope you guys all had a killer back half of 2016. Really gonna miss Alpine this summer.

    Just seeing this thread topped makes me happy. Going to miss Alpine so much this year, but I guess I chose a good summer to get married.

    Every time someone mentions something to me about some kind of event this summer, I respond "Well DMB isn't touring this year so I should probably be able to make it!"

    Wrigley Field has quite a few shows this summer...and I think Alpine has nothing on the books right now. I seriously think they might get 0-1 shows this summer (maybe Buffet). I just don't get it...

    I don't get it either. They could drive business there if they wanted to. Saw in rumors thread ZBB is doing summer fest and Wrigley so he is out. They could really have zero shows if Buffet does Wrigley.

    I'm a massive Cubs fan, (you know, the WORLD CHAMPION CHICAGO CUBS? ) but the novelty of seeing shows at Wrigley has worn off for me. It's a fun summer night for sure, don't get me wrong, but they do so many now that the thrill has worn off and it's like "Meh, I'd rather see them somewhere smaller with better sound...."

    I've got tickets for Tom Petty this summer but I was trying so hard to convince my friends to get tickets for his Deer Creek show and go camp out instead.

    Just saw that Jimmy Buffet announced a show at Wrigley this summer- Hope this isn't more bad news for Alpine this year!

    I've been saying this for a couple months now. Wrigley is killing Alpine...and it makes zero sense. I love the Cubs, Wrigley is special place...for a baseball game. Alpine is arguably a top 5 venue in the country, and will probably have zero shows this summer.

    Not sure Live Nation will want to spend money for upkeep/maintenance if they go a full year without a show.

    Anyone with season tickets hear there are shows this year? I think the LN lease is over in the next year or two. Maybe this is their early signal to intentions on keeping that.
