 Record numbers of people packed Bemidji's Sanford Events Center over the weekend for the big Brad Paisley concert. Our Josh Peterson shows us fan reaction and how this could be the start of something big for the events center. It was all hands on deck prior to Saturday's big show at the Sanford Events Center. With 11 semi-trucks filled with staging instruments and props, Brad Paisley's weekend warrior tour was a test to see what Bemidji's venue could handle. For us it's kind of pushing us to that limit and that's what we love to do and we just really appreciate the support of the community and everybody coming out. Right outside the doors excited fans arrived early. Many have been anxiously awaiting months for Paisley's performance. We ordered our tickets in November because we came to another concert here and we decided to come to Brad Paisley all the same group. For fans first in line Saturday evening was a chance to hear some great country music. I love country music. I'm a huge country music fan so I'm excited to see Dustin Lynch again too, I've seen him. Excitement was even building for those working the concert as a fundraiser. Well actually we needed a lot of fundraising opportunities and when we heard Brad Paisley was coming to Bemidji we got really excited so we thought it would be a great idea to make some money while listening some great music. Inside the packed house more than 6400 fans cheered as Brad Paisley sang their favorites. Performances by Lindsay L, Chase Bryant and Dustin Lynch were also part of the tour but for many it was all about Brad. He is an ACM award winner multiple times. He's a big touring and so hopefully he'll get bigger names coming too. Brad Paisley's weekend warrior world tour is the single largest event ever held here at Bemidji's Sanford center in its eight-year history. Meaning more big names are likely yet to come. This is the beginning. This isn't the end. This will be the regular part of our business is chasing it trying to find the right ones. With a packed arena Paisley rocked the house and left fans wanting more. In Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland news.
