Bruce Springsteen announces 15 tours dates, but none in Boston

The Boss is hitting the road, but the Hub isn't in his sights -- not yet, at least.
The 15-date Bruce Springsteen tour will kick off in Cincinatti in April with stops in Nashville, Tenn., Tampa, Fla., and Houston. As of yet, the closest he'll get to Boston is Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn., on May 17 and 18.
Springsteen is no stranger to Boston. He played Fenway Park on Aug. 14-15, 2012 as part of the stadium's 100th anniversary celebrations.
Fans of the "Born to Run" singer are pleading with him via Twitter to add a Beantown show.
@springsteen .....Oh my god!...Bruce oozes sex appeal without even trying. That's a handsome man! Please come back to #Boston.

@erdanton @perpetua I don't know, I think it's a really bad look (for Boston) that Springsteen isn't playing the TD Garden.

Some fans speculated that Springsteen is holding off his Boston date for warmer weather.
@redmond_peter @fdomenella @springsteen @RollingStone probably keeping NYC and Boston for summer
