JASON ALDEAN ON PLAYING SOME OF SPORTS’ MOST ICONIC STADIUMS: ‘IT’S SO WEIRD’
Check out the new ESPN interview with Jason featuring exclusive images from his recent NFL stadium tour.
“Jason Aldean spent his summer in iconic football and baseball stadiums, from Pasadena to Yawkey Way — and damn, it was weird.
Growing up in Macon, Georgia, Aldean could have hardly dreamed of scoring a ticket to sit in the highest reaches of Fenway Park or Wrigley Field or the Rose Bowl. Now, the country music star can’t get used to the concept of folks spending hard-earned, not-so-expendable income buying those seats to see him.
“Growing up, you’d see video and pictures of people like the Beatles playing Shea Stadium, and that seemed like it was just impossible,” Aldean recently told me during a tour stop in Canada. “You’ve got to be the Beatles for that to happen, or Elvis.
“And to be a guy to go out and do it … I love it, and can’t believe it. It’s strange for me to look out and realize that we’re actually playing our show here.”
