Buffet is changing the venue of his Chicago area shows to the Toyota Park in Bridgeview after spending almost 17 seasons in the Amphitheatre of the Tinley Park. Buffet will make his debut at the new venue on July 24th. His fans at the South West suburb are waiting for this day. The hardcore fans of Jimmy from the nearby areas of Chicago used to flock to the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy to watch their idol perform. The Parrot Heads are happy about the shift of venue as they will be able to get into Toyota Park easily and it also has ample parking space.
The advantage of choosing Toyota Park is that it can accommodate 28,000 people. The General Manager of the Toyota Park informed that though Toyota is not an amphitheatre, it has 10,000 seats in the main area and 18,000 more seats are arranged in the style of All State Arena. More than 25% of the seating area is covered by high roof. Toyota Park manager is working hard to make this the permanent venue of Jimmy whenever he tours. The Mayor of Bridgeview is optimistic about the show as they were able to manage a crowd of 30,000 people who attended the Eric Clapton concert last year.
