Checked my schedule and cross checked with tour dates and my best bet is Pine Knob. Approached the wife on this crazy idea and because she's amazing, she said go for it!
So, I'm here looking for a good single. Apparently PIT is tough to come by cause it's a tiny area but if someone has one to sell....�� I'd prefer as close as possible to the stage bc well, I'm F'ing flying solo to this so I gotta make it worth my while. (Never been to Michigan before either)
Also need help on a hotel and a decent place to pregame if anyone is familiar with the area.
This is gonna be epic.
Thanks!

Pine Knob has a great tailgating scene if you're into that. In previous years I remember lots "opening" at 4p but people get there earlier with no issues.
But for regular lodging and restaurants before the show, Auburn Hills is a good bet with probably the most options (you're going to find
some closer to the venue, but definitely more volume in Auburn Hills). 20 minutes from venue.
Last thing to know: Pine Knob is an AWESOME venue. It gets stuck as a mid week show because of its proximity to Deer Creek/Alpine/SPAC, but it always is an excellent crowd and gets good sets from the band. It's smaller, and even if you end up on the lawn, sightlines and sound are great throughout.
