Sad the great success for out city is tainted on this forum by an isolated incident. I don't know of any other issues surrounding the run of concerts. I've heard the early sales tax numbers and they're outstanding. I can't wait to hear what the numbers look like with a combined Garth/Chili Bowl weekend. Great for our city coffers and great for the local organizations (CVB funded by hotel/motel tax) promoting our city. This'll really help their budgets.
We were at the last show, and there was a group from Ireland there. When you have 7 shows with 18K people each, and an hour between the opening act and the main event (so that everyone can get good and drunk) you can bet there's going to be the occasional fight/beatdown/shooting/chess game. That would put the stats at 1/126,000 of getting shot at a Garth Brooks concert. Statistically, that's about the same as your odds of getting killed when you ride a bike (Conan).

So the average person would have about a 1/50,000,000,000 chance of pulling a gun on a police officer and getting shot at the Garth Brooks concert.
It seems safe to me.
