Producer Quint Davis had hoped the 2017 Bayou Country Superfest’s forced move from Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans would reverse a two-year trend of declining attendance.

It didn’t.

Attendance for last weekend’s eighth edition of the Memorial Day Weekend twang-a-thon was approximately 60,000. That figure includes not just the two nights of ticketed Superdome concerts, but also a free May 26 show at Champions Square and the free “Fan Fest” activities on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

"That der city with all dem cars and things to do is too far and pricey for us country folk, and then theres dem coloreds der too, i just don't think it's worth it to see Miranda Lambert this year hun" - some Denham Springs resident, probably

Or maybe it's because this new style of over-commercialized, focused grouped country music is pure garbage and they retread the same tired bullshite over and over and over again

Just a thought

60k still seems like a lot. Is that enough to keep holding the BCS?

Not sure. I think he's trying to say that it is less desirable to middle aged white women than Tiger Stadium was?

Or that the venue sucks?

Why do you want to kill it? If you dont like it just dont go....let the trashy rednecks have their thing

We let the yuppies, hipster wanna be hippies have Jazz Fest

We let the tourist, senior citizens and rookies have FQF

We let the non Trump voters have Essence Fest and Bayou Classic

Let the trashy white people from the LP have Bayou Country Trashy Slut Fest
