Tim McGraw!

Tonight is Tim McGraw! So excited. He's one of my favorites...and totally hot! Keeping with Sarah's fan friday, let's talk about the last time I saw Tim...last summer at Angels stadium :]

I've been there plenty of times in the last 10-ish years because I'm a Yankees fan and that's as close as my team gets to San Diego, but I've never seen a concert there!

I had really been wanting to go to this show but A) face value tickets sold out asap B) no one I knew wanted to spend the 3rd party resale prices C) the drive is a hop, skip, and a jump away plus some 100 miles, give or take D) I was also holding out because Tim was giving out homes to wounded military members and are you ready for this...the godson of one of the ladies who works in my office was gifted a home! I was hoping she'd be able to score me a ticket...but no luck. I guess I just wasn't meant to go. UNTIL a buddy sent out a mass text that the first one to reply would score his extra ticket since a friend of his bailed. My phone sits right on my desk at work so I jumped at the opportunity and beat out the rest! A couple of days later we hit the road due North and arrived at Angels stadium...wayyyy early. We tailgated a little, I drank some beer, made a flag out of cans, and they caught one of the best shows of my life. 

The stage sat out on short center field/ 2nd base and there were just masses of people there. The dreamy Jake Owen opened the show...and one of the things that I love about him is he plays barefoot! Then Grace Potter took the stage and was cool, but she probably should have played before Jake since a lot of people don't know many of her songs and she kind of killed the mood after Jake had already pumped up the crowd. Then the main event...Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw! Kenny played a bunch of his songs and then Tim took the stage and played all of his greats! 1st time hearing "Truck Yeah!" and I loved it! Minus the "lil wayne bumpin in my headphones" lyrics. Not a fan of Wayne. Surprise appearance by Ashton Kutcher, a duet by Kenny and Tim, and then a group song with Jake, Grace, Kenny, and Tim! Not many details about what they sang because it was almost a year ago and I don't remember all of them, but trust me when I well you...it was an amazing concert that was kicked up 1000% because it was at Angels stadium! 

Check out the pics:

My ride. Go Yankees!

'merica!

As far as we were...these seats were still awesome!

BEER! Blegh.

TIM!

If I remember correctly...I made a friend in the bathroom, lol.

Thinking back...I saved my camera for Tim since he was my favorite of everyone and because of that, I missed out on pictures of everyone else. Oh well. Still a legit show :]

This was my second show at a ball park, the first was Dierks Bentley at Petco Park a couple of summers ago and I think I like this theme. Not sure when my next one will be, but I definitely like having my two favorites, country music and baseball in one! I think Kenny is doing another stadium tour this summer so if he's in your hood, I totally recommend going!

I can't wait until tonighttttt! Should be amazingggg!
