Kenny Chesney’s 12th Pittsburgh stadium show sets\npersonal Steel City high of 60,126 fans

Chesney has played for almost 623,000 spectators in his 12 Acrisure Stadium/Heinz Field shows.

PITTSBURGH ― Country superstar Kenny Chesney’s 12th Pittsburgh stadium show Saturday drew a personal record of 60,126 spectators.

A flotilla of fans, eight and 10 boats deep, docked on the North Shore outside the stadium also partaking in the fun.

“They call it Steel Town for a reason,” Chesney said afterward in a press release. “They came to see with a purpose! Those hearts are so strong and true: you could hear it when they sang, and looking out, you could see it in the way they waved their arms side-to-side. They were on their feet and had their hands in the air the entire show. I knew I was going to do ‘There Goes My Life’ when I woke up, but seeing the entire stadium lit up with their lights? It’s one of the most beautiful memories of my life.”

Chesney’s 2024 tour has been setting personal records since kicking off in Tampa. Uncle Kracker and Megan Moroney, an Academy of Country Music Awards’ female nominee, joined Chesney on stage at Acrisure for “All The Pretty Girls.”

A total of 622,882 concertgoers have attended Chesney’s 12 Pittsburgh stadium shows, the press release said.

“Build it with friendship and love, and something really special happens,” Chesney said. “The band is white hot and so tight; you can feel how much fun they’re having with every solo and jam – and the audience picks up on that. It was an undeniably incredible night, and as much as people thought we were crazy doing this in Pittsburgh in 2005, I can say absolutely, No Shoes Nation always shows up and delivers. They lifted us again to new heights.”

Taylor Swift holds Acrisure/Heinz Field’s single-show attendance record of 73,117, set last year.
