Boaters dock ahead of Morgan Wallen concert at Acrisure Stadium
From Downtown to the North Shore and even out on Pittsburgh's three rivers, excitement is building for a weekend packed with country music, the Three Rivers Arts Festival, and thousands of people.
If you happened to peek at the waterfront, you probably noticed boat after boat, some of which have been docked for weeks to make sure they had a prime-time spot for Friday night's Morgan Wallen concert at Acrisure Stadium.
Upwards of 70,000 people this weekend will have all eyes on Wallen for his "Still the Problem" Tour. The North Shore Riverwalk is just hundreds of yards away from Acrisure Stadium, giving fans perfect access to the show.
"Our boats have been down here for two weeks. You've got to be here a little early to get a good spot right outside the stadium," said Scott Rosa.
"I bought a boat in September; I actually live on the boat, and my brother's going to the concert. ... he coerced me to bring the boat down. So, I have been down here since Sunday, living down here," said Nathan Ward.
While the boats are so close to the stadium, many people showed up to enjoy the water.
Tony Centore is one of those who docked his boat to give his children a closer walk as they are set to attend both nights of the Wallen concert.
"We were here listening to it yesterday, and the sound checks were fabulous. It literally echoes right down through here," said Centore.
