I agree that it's unlikely that a second Foxwoods show will be added, but not for the reason you mentioned.
Al has done 2 shows in one day on a Tuesday before; he did it in Bloomington, IL, and in Boston, MA on the Mandatory Fun Tour in 2015.
However, every time he did 2 shows in one day, he had a day off beforehand. He does not have a day off before Foxwoods. He is doing 2 shows in one day in Boston without a day off beforehand, but the previous venue is only 1 hour away. From Tarrytown to Foxwoods is at least 2- 2½ hours away. So I guess it's possible, but I think unlikely, to add a second Foxwoods show.

There ARE Dates available later in the tour too, before he travels too far from CT so it COULD Be possible
Strangely, every show currently booked at the Fox Theatre at Foxwoods is on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, so perhaps that theater is only used on weekends. If that's the case, then they can't go to Foxwoods between Poughkeepsie and Tarrytown.
Sorry, but there is NO way they would do an afternoon show in Foxwoods on the same day as the evening show in NH. There is simply not enough time.

This topic keeps appearing as new on my tapatalk app. Just seeing if this reply fixes that.

I have an extra ticket for this show. A friend bailed on me.

(if it matters) Row N of section O3.

I guess PM or email through this bbd if anyone is interested ... not sure how that all works...

I’ll be there tomorrow, but the weather is looking like it will be nasty, high winds, rain, and snow. Stay safe anyone making the drive through Connecticut tomorrow.

I booked a hotel at the casino for tonight as to avoid driving there tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be fine by the time the show ends on Friday

The heralds of the Weather gods have arrived to announce their attendance at the concert tonight.

String wind, and rain already. May start tapering off when the concert ends.

I wonder if he'll play the new Polka?

He said at last night’s show that it’s too complicated to play live, but maybe he’ll change his mind.

If anyone is making the drive out tonight, let me know how the road conditions are. I’m making the trip down from Hartford, but won’t be able to leave until about 6pm

Mohegan Sun just announced that the Kid Rock show that was scheduled for tonight has been cancelled, I assume if there were any reason Al wasn't going to go on tonight we'd have heard it by now? I'm guessing maybe Kid Rock was coming in on an airplane and the flight got cancelled maybe? I just went out for a bit and while the weather sucks, it's nothing a New Englander shouldn't be able to handle.

Take this for what it's worth, but Foxwoods tweeted this a few hours ago
@alyankovic's new single just dropped and you can see him perform it LIVE for first time ever at #Foxwoods tonight!
That could just be an assumption by Foxwoods' social media person based on nothing factual so for people going tonight, I wouldn't expect him to play it but I figured I'd share the tweet here.
