May be more people there than the Birmingham Bowl

Monster Trucks at Protective stadium next, please.

Excited about this. Getting tickets.

June 4th is on a Saturday, how will this fit with the USFL, is he playing a halftime show?

Legion Field perhaps, unless you want Garth to perform on Graymont Ave.

Gsme times have not been set for that weekend yet but games will be played from Friday through Sunday so there could be one game played on the 4th in the afternoon at LF and the concert that night at Protective.

With setup, sound check, putting seats on the field, I don't think there will be time for games that day at protective.

With only 4 games a weekend, could just be one game at Legion on Saturday, double header at PS on Sunday. Of course single game at PS on Friday night as well.

That is if the USFL is still playing by time we get to June.

Mrs DD and I are gonna go see Garth and maybe catch a Stallions game too.

With the elaborate nature of his typical concert setups, it's doubtful any games played at Protective that weekend.

Yeah I omitted the June 4th afternoon game could be played at Legion Field.

Everyone wondering about USFL - you can go on the Ticketmaster website and see the dates and stadiums. The only games being played at Legion Field are weeks 8 and 10 of the USFL season. 8 games total at Legion Field. So this falls on one of the weekends where the games are at Legion. Currently there are no plans to split games on a single weekend across both stadiums, which makes total sense from a TV/logistics standpoint.

Seems obvious they worked all this out in advance and that legion field was added due to expected events at protective

Better go see those games at Legion. Got to believe we are getting close to when the last football game will be played in that stadium, don’t want to miss it when it happens. Probably won’t know it until after it has happened.

City is spending money on LF this year and has plans to spend more in the coming years so it will be around a while. I'll be happy to lead the demolition team if needed.

Here's the info on parking, shuttles,etc. for the concert
