And the announcement is....

Flip Flop Stadium Summer --
Chesney Starts 2007 By Announcing His NFL Stadium Shows
Tickets On-Sale Feb 10, Seattle + Philly Go March 10



Nashville: He had the most attended North American Tour last year, and now Kenny Chesney gets ready to kick-off his Flip Flop Summer 2007 Tour by announcing six stadium shows across the country. With an all-star line-up that includes 3-time Entertainers of the Year hailed as “the Rolling Stones of Country” Brooks & Dunn, triple platinum new country sensation Sugarland, current Academy of Country Music Top Female Vocalist Sara Evans and triple Grammy-nominee Pat Green, Chesney will play his first stadium show June 9 at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field, home of the Steelers.

“There is a whole other kind of energy, other kind of dynamic. We're talking the firepower of one of country music's most hardcore, hard-rocking duos,” the reining Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year says of his stadium shows. “All the acts really… it's a pretty intense line-up, in what we've found to be a very exciting place to do concerts!”

In addition to Pittsburgh, Chesney will bring the same line-up to Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field, home to the Eagles on June 23; Seattle's Qwest Field, home of the Seahawks on July 7; Cleveland, Ohio's Browns Stadium on July 14; Foxboro's Gillette Stadium, home to the Patriots -- where he sold out last year's play in less than a week -- on July 28; and Detroit's Ford Field. Home of the Lions on August 18.

I'm sure he means something completely different by "Flip Flop", but all I can think of is politics. LOL

By the way, I thought it was interesting to see that this announcement was on Kenny's website with a posting date of January 9.
