Re: Philly, Citizens Bank Park
Ok. so the whole tour seems to be setup. Why is Philly/Camden forgotten? Is it because we are getting something really cool like citizens bank park ? or is it because they are trying to find an available tuesday to squeeze us in at camden ? this waiting sucks. C'mon...give us a saturday in philly .....or even at the Mann Center.

Re: Philly, Citizens Bank Park
Come on - announce the date already.
Is citizens even going to happen?
And they should announce it before Jones Beach goes on sale

Re: Philly, Citizens Bank Park
i don't know how this CBP thing could be true. why would he play one stadium show in philly and regular "shed" style venues on the rest of the tour? i think it's a lot of wishful thinking. as much as i despise camden, i think we are stuck with it. hopefully i am wrong. ANNOUNCE THE DATES ALREADY !!!

He did Comerica Park in Detroit last year. And that was the only ball park he did. Just trying to think positive. I would love a CBP show again
I made enough money to buy Miami but I p*** it away so fast.

Re: Philly, Citizens Bank Park
Why is there such a strong desire for Citizens Bank Park? It is a stadium, and not designed for concerts. The sightlines if you are in the stadium seats are awful and far away. If you are on the field, it's nothing to brag about, unless you are 10-20 yards from the stage. Don't get it. Hoping for Camden again.

Re: Philly, Citizens Bank Park
The desire for Citizens bank park exists because Camden is a hell hole. It's one of the worst cities in the whole country. I never feel safe there, it's dirty, parking is always a nightmare, getting in and out is a nightmare. the only thing it has going for it is the view of philly and the river.

Re: Philly, Citizens Bank Park
I am well aware of what happens in Camden on a daily basis. I live less than a mile from the city, and my wife spends the majority of her work day working with disabled children in Camden. It is not an area I would choose to live. However, there is a huge police presence in the lots, and I have never felt in danger there from Camdenites. If there were to be any feelings of insecurity it would be from fellow tailgaters. The police love pulling that duty for the day because it is one less day that they have to deal with drugs and thugs.

The riverfront area is not dirty by any means, if the rest of the city looked 30% as clean as Rutgers, Campbell's Field, Aquarium, Wiggins Marina, USS New Jersey and the other attractions down there, the city would look great. I am not looking to tailgate in Kramer Hill or Northgate apartments, just the lots near the venue. When crowds arrive, the lots are clean, the next they they are immaculate too. It is so frustrating after the concert to see how some tailgaters can not take the extra effort to clean up after themselves and pack up their trash from the day. That is dirty and disgusting.
I have been to many venues on the east coast to see Buffett, you should be thankful that we aren't restricted like Jiffy Lube Live in Manassas, VA is. The reason Camden Police have had to crack down is because Buffett tailgaters and other artist tailgaters have gotten way out of control in the past. Tailgaters, not Camdenites, fighting resulting in deaths will do that, underage kids passed out and throwing up on the pavement will do that. I have a good friend who works ER at one of the hospitals in Camden. He says that the worst days of the year for him are the XTU festival, Buffett, and Dave Matthews Band. Combined they cause more angst and issues in the ER than all of the other days of the year where they deal with gang related issues.
Citizens Bank Park or The Linc to see a concert? Awful. Great venue for sports, but horrible for concerts. I dont like the fact that the lots open later than 10am in Camden. It is an inconvenience, but I'll trade getting in at 2-3pm versus having to see a concert in one of those venues. As far as getting out after the concert? Pack a picnic cooler and make a sandwich while the crowd moves out. The Camden Police do not hound you unless you are trying re-establish your tailgate. Getting out of Citizens Bank or Linc is no picnic either.
Hoping that the 21st at Citizens Bank Park is only a rumor.

Re: Philly, Citizens Bank Park
The 2 NY shows will have to be my northeastern shows this year. I'm not going to Great Woods, I couldn't get a decent ticket to Pittsburgh and the only reason to go to Camden is to drive through it on your way to someplace else.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

Re: Philly, Citizens Bank Park
since I doubt Buffett will come to Nashville this year, you should go to Cincinnati and just pretend like it's your show in the south. lolLIPH wrote:The 2 NY shows will have to be my northeastern shows this year.
