SEC stadiums don’t need to host Kenny Chesney and the like

Kenny Chesney is cool.

It’s a fact; don’t argue. The pop-country singer proved as much in Jordan-Hare Stadium last weekend. He rocked Auburn’s home football stadium and left proof of his impact.

Perhaps you didn’t hear: Chesney tore up Auburn’s football field for a concert. A monster truck rally would have had less impact. The pictures of the dead grass at Jordan-Hare are astonishing. Beware other SEC schools. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened.

Chesney, the country music star with the Margaritaville feel, has managed to thumb his nose at most every SEC school in the region by cheering for each of them and turning his back on many of them.
