Morgan Wallen draws massive crowd to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for two-night concert

Thousands of country music fans, some traveling from as far as Canada, packed Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Friday for the first of two Morgan Wallen concerts, which law enforcement described as Gainesville’s biggest event in decades. University Avenue between 17th Street and Gale Lemerand Drive was closed for the event and will reopen at 1 a.m. before shutting again for the second night’s show. Notable appearances included former Gators quarterback Tim Tebow, basketball coach Todd Golden, and football coach Jon Sumrall, while officials urged attendees to stay hydrated in the heat and arrange safe rides.
