According to the country music superstar’s promoter, Brooks has sold 102,000 tickets for the April 30 show in Baton Rouge, making it one of the top two largest crowds ever for a North American stadium show. The record was set by a George Strait show in 2014 that drew 104,793 into the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Garth and Strait. I'm very much OK with that.

As a matter of fact, there will be so many people at Tiger Stadium, the Garth Brooks concert will have more people than these Louisiana cities -

Lake Charles (78,656)
Bossier City (67,845)
Kenner (65,852)
