Are we going to have to change venue wars from Alpine vs SPAC to Grant Park vs Governor's Island this year?

[AbeFroman]

To all the people talking about baseball games. This is a festival. Multiple bands throughout the day. You should see other bands besides DMB.

Who says we can't do both?

They aren't. It's White Sox vs. Twins. Anybody who enjoys Baseball will want to take in one of these 3 games. Cubs are out of town. Really couldn't ask for a better weekend

Cause bands will start playing noon/1sh. Baseball starts at 1 goes till 3ish. Wouldnt get there till 4. Waste of a fest.

Cause everyone knows that if you don't see every single band that plays at a festival, you just threw your money down the toilet.

Sox Twins play on the 7th anyway. So this is a moot point. I wouldn't have to miss any of the fest and I could still see a game.

The Twinkies are gonna be in town

I absolutely plan to go to at least one game (probably 7/7). CaNick, you in?!

To Spend $200+ for a weekend to see a fest, than not see it to see a baseball team play a team they play a lot every year, ya waste.

But if you love the Twins as much or more than DMB and musical festivals and you're in Chicago and they're playing their biggest rivals, and you can do both? Um doesn't really take much of a thought

Dude, you're talking about roughly 2 hours out of a 3 day festival, that's not a waste

[AbeFroman]

Difference of opinion. I am not saying I don't like baseball, I went 20 some times last year and have for years. Just seems like something not to do during a festival. Lucky for me, 1 less person in the beer line!!

But look at it this way. My two biggest passions in life are baseball and music. Specifically DMB and the Twins. Now if I get the more or less once in a lifetime change to get to see both in one day, Twins at the home of their biggest rival, and DMB headling their own festival, I think that's about the most perfect day life could give me. Now if that same day I got to do shots of tequilla with Dennis Rodman and then have sex with Elizabeth Hurley I could just die, cause life really couldn't get any better then

[dontdrink36]

I'm going to be there! I'm excited I've never been to anything like this before and I've never been to Chicago. I have an Uncle who lives in the city so I'll be staying with him for FREE!!!!! I hear Chicago is a great summer city I can't wait.

Yeah they really need to make this shit official.

[dmbfan4ever]

Question.

I'm from Chicago, been a Warehouse member since 2002 but I forgot to renew and they say the grace period is up. Am I screwed or would a phone call to warehouse help?

And do you think tickets to Grant Park for general public would be easy to get?

thanks

[americanemu25]

i have a feeling it won't be at grant park (forgive me if inside sources have confirmed it, i didn't br), the taste is june 24th through july 3rd and I feel like the area will need time to recover? idk maybe I'm wrong

I was thinking this as well...the people who confirmed the information, they just said "lakeside", so people are assuming Grant Park. But that could mean Soldier Field, or some combo of Soldier and Northerly Island...

[fridge112887]

All this talk about pizza, baseball, and Admiral Theatre has got me all sorts of excited (esp. the Admiral part).

I'd love to see it at Grant Park. It's quite the place during the summer and holds 80k if need be. Someone mentioned Northerly Island as a possible spot but I don't see that as being much of an option really.....too small for this sort of thing. Soldier Field would be my guess.
