June 28: Wallen Plays Camp Randall - A Night I'll Never Forget (and Some Tips for Future Concert-Goers!)

Okay, so, June 28th. Let me tell you, that was a night. Morgan Wallen at Camp Randall Stadium. I'd been looking forward to this for months. Months! I'd snagged tickets the second they went on sale – let me tell you, getting those tickets was a whole other adventure in itself, a real nail-biter. Seriously, the website crashed like, three times. But I persevered, like a true fan. And let's just say, it was totally worth the stress.

The Pre-Game Jitters (and Logistics!)

Before I get into the actual concert, let's talk about the lead-up. I mean, the planning! Parking at Camp Randall is legendary – and by legendary, I mean a total nightmare. So, I did my research. I'd heard horror stories. I found a parking lot a couple of miles away that offered shuttle service, way cheaper than the official lots and way less stressful. Pro-tip: Do your homework on parking way ahead of time, especially for big events like this. You don't want to spend half your night circling the stadium.

Then there's the whole outfit dilemma. What to wear to a Morgan Wallen concert? Casual is key, but you still want to look somewhat presentable, right? I went with jeans, a comfy t-shirt, and some good walking shoes— absolutely essential. You're gonna be on your feet for hours! Trust me. Also, pro-tip: bring a small backpack or purse, something hands free. It's much easier to navigate through crowds.

The Show Begins!

The energy in the stadium was insane. Electric. Pure electricity. Everyone was singing along before he even came on stage! I mean seriously, it was a sea of people, and the atmosphere was just—wow. I even made a new friend next to me in the crowd! We bonded over our mutual love for "Whiskey Glasses" and "Sand in My Boots". I still chat with her on Facebook.

He opened with "Wasted on You" and the crowd just went absolutely bananas. I was practically floating. Every song was an absolute banger. He played all my favorites, and his stage presence was incredible. Seriously, the dude is a natural performer.

The lights, the sound, the whole production was top-notch. It was one of those experiences that you just know you'll never forget. I even managed to snag a little video of him singing "Heartless," my absolute jam.

The Unexpected Downer

However, even with all the positive vibes, there was a slight hiccup. The sound cut out briefly during "More Than My Hometown." It felt like a lifetime to me. For about 30 seconds, everyone was just staring at the stage, with that uncomfortable silence that hangs heavy. But to their credit, they recovered quickly. It seemed like a brief technical issue, and the show went right on.

Lessons Learned and Final Thoughts

Looking back, the whole experience was a reminder to always plan ahead – not only the venue parking but also personal needs. Wear comfortable shoes, check the weather, and hydrate! And for goodness sake, don't forget your phone charger! Also, remember to be respectful of others. Personal space can be tight.

The Morgan Wallen concert at Camp Randall was an unforgettable experience. A true highlight. It’s something I'll cherish forever – and even though it had a small technical glitch, it didn't ruin the night. I’d go again in a heartbeat. He's got real talent, and his shows are an experience, not just a concert. If you get the chance to see him live, you should absolutely do it.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to listen to "7 Summers" again. Maybe I'll even dust off that concert video!
