Garth Brooks\u2019 Stadium Tour stopped in at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Ticket sales went beyond 75,000 and that made it the largest ever for any non-athletic event at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.\u00a0 Only three shows into the tour and each stop has set a record.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got some pretty cool cities that are comin\u2019 up. This has been\u2026this has been the sweetest tour so far. And I was amazed, you know, because the shows \u2013 there\u2019s not six in a city or five in a city. There\u2019s just one with the exception of St. Paul-Minneapolis, but\u2026I gotta tell ya \u2013 the fun I\u2019m having at the one\u2026and all the things that surround it\u2026it really makes it almost feel more like a family than when you got to go camp there for six or seven days.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The stadium ranks among the 20 largest in the world and has nearly 90 years of history behind it. Garth\u2019s show was the first concert to be held at the historic venue in 25 years.<\/p>\n
