Don't give a shit if anyone likes country music or not. Not my favorite but I'll always take in a show. And, I'm going to purchase alkeyhawl legally in Jordan Hare tomorrow. Keen article from the dot I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!! I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others. I like male genatalia in and around my mouth. on how this concert came about.
Kenny Chesney isn't playing a concert in the Georgia Dome this year.
He is headed straight for Jordan-Hare Stadium, 110 miles away from Chesney's annual Atlanta stop, to kick off his 2016 "Spread the Love Tour" there. It's all because of the homegrown Auburn restaurant Chicken Salad Chick – and its founders Stacy and (the late) Kevin Brown.
Kevin Brown was diagnosed with stage-four colon cancer in 2014 at the age of 39. Once the Browns came to terms with the news, Kevin started a foundation to fight cancer and give back to the Auburn community that helped grow Chicken Salad Chick.
The Browns' family friend Barclay Smith took on the job as Chicken Salad Chick Foundation Director, and Kevin approached her with the idea of filling Jordan-Hare Stadium for a benefit concert.
"I had a connection to my friend Stuart Dill, who lives in Nashville and has been in the music industry for over 30 years," Smith said. "So just in a friendly phone call...I talked to him about the possibilities of putting on a stadium concert in Auburn."
Dill, who's managed many country artists including Billy Ray Cyrus and Jo Dee Messina, was more than willing chat with Kevin – but had his doubts about whether or not it could work.
There are a number of reasons major concert tours don't make frequent stops at college stadiums. Many campuses are in small towns, and they don't have alcohol sales.
"That's almost exclusively on NFL stadiums," Dill said. "Kevin and I talked about that, and I said look, the university would have to be really 100 percent behind us."
Kevin went to work. Once Athletic Director Jay Jacobs gave his blessing and the coveted liquor license was obtained, it was up to Dill to pitch the idea to Kenny Chesney's people. Chesney, an SEC football fanatic, said yes immediately. The "Music and Miracles Superfest" was born.
Kevin and Stacy met Chesney and attended his concert at AT&T Stadium in Dallas last year. Kevin passed away two months later in November.
"I'm just very thankful that they did get to meet. Kenny was excited, he felt like they were partners," said Dill. "I truly always thought that [Kevin] would be there on Saturday. He had so much drive and energy."
Watch the video above for more from Barclay Smith and Stuart Dill on how Kenny Chesney was impacted by the Browns' story, and the forces that came together to make Kevin's vision a reality.

You may have seen the Music & Miracles Superfest being billed as the first-ever concert at Jordan-Hare. As reports have pointed out, that's not entirely true. James Brown and the Beach Boys are on a short list of those who've played small concerts in the stadium.
"In 75 years, yes, there's been music in the stadium," Dill said. "They've had some things associated with the school, they've had some bands of note come in and have four or five thousand people. What they've never had is a full stadium production."
"We certainly don't want to discredit anything that's already happened in Jordan-Hare," Smith says. "This place has such an amazing history. We're just thrilled to be a part of the continuance of that."
If there is one "first" everyone can agree on, it's that the Music & Miracles Superfest will be the first concert of this magnitude to take place in the stadium...or in other words, the largest.
Saturday's festival is the first of more to come annually at Jordan-Hare to celebrate life, music, and bring thousands together in the fight against cancer.

I have heard they put on a great show. Only one in that group I don't care to listen to is Lambert.

Not a fan. I think I'm about to put on my Kaos hat for this one:
This concert has completely taken over and bastardized the loveliest village. The amount of disgusting - and presumably bammer - trash that is floating around campus right now is absurd. It has the look and feel of a football game except these are not Auburn people tailgating. It's a bunch of country music festival folks "gettin' fucked up" and smoking cigarettes. It's fat stupid people running amok on the state's best college campus.
I guess it's a sell out to make money, but I'm disappointed in the PTB that ok'd this concert.
Alcohol will be sold in the stadium. There's cigarette smoke everywhere. And the American flag was removed from the stadium for this oversized No Shoes Nation bullshit with a skull and crossbones.
It's the complete opposite of what I would expect from a day in Auburn.
18 wheelers took over most of on campus student parking for the past 10 days. Half of Auburn's campus closed early yesterday and faculty and staff vehicles were threatened to be towed if they didn't clear out of all of the parking lots.
Sound check has gone on for hours each day since Wednesday, interrupting classes, which is great timing considering finals start in a little over a week.
I'm putting on my grumpy face and avoiding this shit like the plague.

Pretty much hate every single thing Kenny chesney represents.
Fuck Jay Jacobs.

The cancer joke above aside, with you in that sentiment. He's everything wrong with what that genre of music and what it's fans have become. No shoes nation - what a bunch of commercialized over marketed horse hockey.

They've got some great songs that the kids like to dance to.

Whiney ass bitches, the lot of you!
GoKenny!

From what I understand, part of the deal was that we would get a new field because part of it was dug up for the stage.
Rumor is that we could be installing astroturf to replace the grass.

Fantastic concert. And I didn't start this thread as a poll on country nusic. In fact I said clearly that I don't give a shit if you like it or not. Chesney put on a great show.

Isn't every thread started to elicit response or opinion? Just in general ?

If they are going to start bringing concerts of that magnitude to JHS, I'm hoping they learned some things from it and will do some tweaking for future events. I don't know if what they have in mind are country acts, pop, hippity hop or what. There were a little over 50,000 there for 6 hours. What they need to realize is that drunk people like/need to eat. The concession lines were longer and slower than any ball game I've been to and they all ran out of food way too early.
After the second act, I went in search and the Momma Goldberg's line looked manageable and moving well. I got up to the point of one person between me and tipsy, delicious satisfaction and was told Momma had no more Love for any of us. Out of all food except nachos. Damn it all to hell!!!
Doing some renovations at the stadium. If your seats are in the lower part of Section 42 in the north end zone, you don't have them anymore. It doesn't exist. Cut out. Gone. The stage was in the south end zone and gi-freakin'- normous. It pretty much blocked out the super transformers, mega scoreboard JJ 2000. I was really hoping they would use it because of the big venue but it wasn't even on. They had a wide screen at each end of the stage, which made it okay.
Tons of cops there. Plenty of security. I saw quite a few Montgomery police there. A few had to handle their bidnezz and give their cuffs a workout.

Good cause. Fun music. Tickets were affordable and everyone I know that went had a great time.
Except the whiney bitches that didn't!

JHS got lit up. Yep, the turf took a beating too. Pretty cool though to see the stadium like that.
