Bob Gannon:
Why is this man smiling?

AndreMesquita:
Excuse me guys, but does anyone knows if Paul is rumored to play on NYC someday between Jun 25th and July 5th?
No. It looks like no shows between those dates. He schedules his shows around his custody of Bea nd I suspect that is the timeframe he has her. if you look closely at the expected dates the tour follows a 2-week on, 2 week off schedule. RamblinRed

Here's my new best guesses. Doubt I get them all but at least I'll give it a go. All this based on Bob's letters and numbers. All facilities are available on the dates shown. Bold indicates confirmed 6/14 - L - Lubbock (United Spirit Arena) 6/16 - D - Dallas (American Airlines Arena) 6/19 - N - New Orleans (Smoothie King Center) 6/21 - A - Atlanta (Philips Arena) 6/22 - J - Jacksonville (Veterans Memorial Arena) 6/25 - N - Nashville (Bridgestone Arena) 6/26 - L - Louisville (Yum! Center) 7/5 - A - Albany (Times Union Center) 7/7 - P - Pittsburgh (Consol Energy Center) 7/9 - C - Chicago (United Center) 7/10 - C - Chicago (United Center) - this makes all the numbers and letters match up 7/12 - F - Fargo, ND (Scheels Center) 7/14 - L - Lincoln, NE (Pinnacle Bank Arena) 7/16 - K - Kansas City (Kemper Arena) 8/2 - M - Minneapolis (Target Field) 8/5 - M - Milwaukee (Bradley Center) - Madison would fit here as well 8/7 - S - Salt Lake City (EnergySolutions Center) 8/10 - L - Los Angeles (Dodger Stadium) 8/12 - PoS - Portland or SF/Santa Clara (Portland - Rose Quarter) 8/14 - SoP - SF/Santa Clara or Portland RamblinRed

Looks pretty realistic to me. Still a little confused about the 8/12 & 8/14 but we'll see what happens. This will give me probably 3 (2 Chicago and Milwaukee) to go to which is always nice.

Don't tease me. It isn't nice! U2 played at Spartan Stadium a couple summers ago and it was packed. It would be an awesome stadium show! Or the Breslin Center that seats 15,000? Oh man, if not, I'm off to Vegas! I can't lose! Bob - please tell me if this is why you were smiling??? Lansing??? Pretty please???

Las Vegas would make sense here as well. Both the MGM Grand and Thomas and Mack center are available at that time for shows. RamblinRed

It probably will be Vegas - I can't get that lucky to have the man play 5 miles down the road from me. If it is Vegas, I'll be happy to jump on a plane and make a cool trip out of it. Seeing some college towns on the list gives me a little hope. Both the Breslin Center and Spartan Stadium are open at that time as well.

7/16 - K - Kansas City (Kemper Arena)
The last time he played in KC it was at the Sprint Center, which appears to be open for this date.

Is Cleveland still in the rumor mill?

Someone seemed certain that both C dates are Chicago, but who knows?

Since Bob only had 1 C and if you use it twice it matches up with the dates I am expecting 2 Chicago shows. also, on Maccareport they are reporting Fargo on July 12 -at the FargoDome - which can hold over 22,000 for an end stage concert and DodgerStadium on 8/10 as unconfirmed rumored dates at this point (along with the 7/9 Chicago show). logistically Lincoln makes more sense on 7/14 than Vegas, especially if Fargo on 7/12 pans out - but Vegas is a big concert city so who knows. I suspect we will see the announcement of the rest of the July shows in the next week or two. Probably 2 more 5 show announcements in the future. One for the July shows and one for the August shows. I wonder if they will hold the August shows announcement until they figure out the 8/12-8/14 shows. That seems like the last ones that aren't finalized. RamblinRed

Has he added second shows to any locations thus far this year?

Apparently San Francisco has to be sorted out as to whether he plays at Candlestick or at the new stadium in Santa Clara, as per all the news articles that have been posted further back in the thread. So I think the venues are date-sensitive, which is why there is the "either/or" thing in the schedule, since the 49'rs begin preseason football during the week of 8/14 and there is a home game that is TBD for that week. I am pretty sure that the NFL will not wait forever for this to be sorted out, so I would guess that Paul's deal will be done soon.

Wouldnt be surprised if 8/5 is Missoula Mt. I only say that because its obscure(like Bob said some dates would), its closer to Utah than Wisconsin and the Stones played there a few years ago, and drew well. 8/2 at Target Field makes sense as well. Saturday night Stadium show. Should draw well too

I got a ticket for Atlanta--Sec. 2, Row C, Seat 10!!!! Dead front & center!

I haven't heard Cleveland mentioned. I'm surprised he hasn't done a show there since 2002. He did revisit there very quickly.. April 2002 then October 2002. But still, they deserve a show! They are the Rock N' Roll city afterall!
