2019's attendance numbers are about half that of the last time the festival was held in Tiger Stadium in 2016. In that year, about 125,000 fans attended. In 2018, when the festival was held in New Orleans, about 53,000 attended, with around 60,000 the year before.



seeing pics I knew the crowd looked very thin... this shite fest looks to have possibly run it's course or they will go down to 1 day or something.

It's 90 degrees. I had no plans over the weekend and would have gone (despite hating the bands) for something to do. however, the heat while listening to that crap would suck.

slightly skewed now that it was back to a 2-day fest from 3-day, but this year's lineup sucked. I have no idea why they wouldn't book one 90's country act per day to at least pull that market.

People can only watch Jason Aldean so many times. Kenny Chesney has been there a couple times, as well as Florida Georgia Line. I get those are some of the biggest country music acts, but people start getting fatigued of paying ~$80 for tickets to sit in 90 degree heat to see the same acts.

I'm gonna bet there's a correlation with the 60% increase in suckage in music
