According to reports, more than 84 thousand people showed up for the concert dressed in cowboy hats and Brooks T-shirts to watch and hear the country singer perform in more than a decade on November 16.
However, the most exciting part of the concert was the impressive crowd support the singer-songwriter received during the concert. It was a spectacular sight to witness as almost the entire audience lighted up the stadium with the flashlights from their phones. The crowd was also seen singing bits and pieces during songs like unanswered prayers and friends in low places.
The singer was also witnessed performing all of his popular songs such as Friends in Low Places and Callin Baton Rouge. The country singer ended the show by honouring the Vols tradition and sang Rocky Top and performed the song with thousands of his fans singing along.
Brooks called it the best night of while he was holding a Tennesse Vols flag in his hand.
One of the enrolled students at the University of Tennesse got her graduation hat signed by Garth during the concert.
His songs were a blend of rock and roll into country music

According to the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), Brooks is the best selling solo artist in the country with 148 million records sold in the US. It was for the first time in 16 years that the Neyland stadium hosted more than a football game as Brook's concert is only one of the three concerts to be held. One of the three concerts to be held was the 1984 Jacksons concert and the 2003 concert by Kenny Chesney.
