Beautiful Night for a Concert

Tweet

Country music superstar Morgan Wallen rolled into my hometown of Gainesville, Florida for two sold-out concerts at the University of Florida's football stadium, known affectionately as the "Swamp." I was able to attend the Friday night show, with Thomas Rhett opening. I will admit I paid a fortune for my tickets. I will also admit that I don't even like Morgan Wallen, but it's extremely rare when the University of Florida allows concerts in the stadium (probably less than a half-dozen times in its history), so I had no plans on missing this historical show. I will admit, I really like Thomas Rhett, so it was worth it just to see him. I spent a good portion of the day tailgating, and doing a lot of people watching (and a little bit of drinking I might add). I thought it was pretty funny seeing all the girls dressed in their cowboy boots, short shorts, and cowboy hats. They all looked pretty much the same to me. I did run into a few people I haven't seen in years, and in one instance, a friend I haven't seen since high school. So it was nice catching up on old times. The second night of the two shows is taking place now, and I live close enough to the University of Florida that if I go outside, I can faintly hear the music from my house. It was a great show, I must admit, and Morgan Wallen really electrified the crowd. So in the end it was worth all the money I paid to go. Have you ever attended a music concert in a large stadium? If so, who did you see? And are you a country music fan, or a fan of Morgan Wallen?
