Zach Bryan's magical concert in West Virginia

According to Real WV, the Joan C. Edwards Stadium saw its maiden sold-out concert last weekend, while the staff members and crew worked really hard to make it a memorable night for the audience.

Marshall Public Safety Director Jim Terry said the venue probably hosted about 30,000 people during Zach Bryan's concert. "We probably had 30,000 inside," WCHS TV quoted Jim Terry as saying.

The planning for his key event in the region began six weeks ago, while they involved all law enforcement officials in Cabell County for the same. Terry shared that the venue has hosted more than 40,000 people previously, mostly during the championship games. "We took our basic football plan and expanded it for a concert," Terry added.

Post the event, several people shared on social media that it took them a few hours to come out of Huntington. But Terry highlighted that there were no major issues, adding that they will make better arrangements while planning similar events in the future.
