CHARLOTTE, N.C. – This past Friday night, the lively city of Charlotte became a hub of excitement as tens of thousands of fans gathered at Bank of America Stadium for the highly anticipated concert of country star Morgan Wallen. Despite originally being scheduled for July, the event was postponed to October due to Wallen’s illness, leaving many fans eagerly awaiting his return.
Fans Eager to Celebrate
Walking into the stadium, you could feel the energy buzzing in the air. Fans weren’t just excited; they were practically bursting with anticipation. “I had to end up going to work on the day that I was supposed to come here in July,” shared Haley Culler, who journeyed all the way from Winston-Salem. She added, “I mourned and listened to Morgan all day so I’m excited.” And excitement filled the air as folks poured in from all corners of North Carolina and beyond.
