Chesney and Aldean Fans get a bit too rowdy in Green Bay!


Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean fans are a rowdy bunch.  The Green Bay Press Gazette reports that somewhere between 250 and 300 people were ejected from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin during Saturday’s joint tour stop.  The reasons were intoxication, harassment and fighting.  Twenty five were arrested.  Just to put it into perspective…for the entire 2014-2015 football season, a total of 25 people were ejected from the stadium during Packers Games.
