The Patriotic Festival has enhanced the sound quality throughout the concert zone by adding an additional delay stack (a PA system for events in very long spaces) in the VIP Chair section. This will provide a superior listening experience for patrons in all sections throughout the entire concert zone including VIP PIT, VIP Chair and General Admission. Patriotic Festival is looking forward to a stellar performance from Morgan Wallen tonight!
