Manning wasn't alone either. The two-time Super Bowl champion was joined by Josh Heupel, Nico Iamaleava, and Bru McCoy who were also in full uniform.

A total of 156,161 people attended the shows, breaking the record held by The Jackson 5 across three shows in 1984 (148,407) according to local Knoxville television station.
“When me and the boys first started playing shows, we started out playing bars, real small venues. Worked our way up to places like Cotton Eyed Joe. Then we worked our way up to clubs, theaters, arenas, and amphitheaters – we pretty much played any kind of venue there is, and all of a sudden you guys went and sold out Neyland today. Thank you,” Wallen said during the concert according to the local news outlet.
Wallen is known for “Last Night,” “Thinkin' Bout Me,” “Whiskey Glasses,” “7 Summers,” and more.
