Before the show began, the line to enter the Sunbowl stretched far down the street as anxious concertgoers waited to enter the Sunbowl. Teens, preteens and tweens wore plain white T-shirts in honor of the band. Ticket holders crowded into the bleacher seats and filled the stadium’s grassy area in anxious anticipation of the Plain White T’s making their appearance.
A stage was set up for the five-member band on the grass at the east end of the Sunbowl. Fans stretched out on blankets, from as close to the stage as security would allow and stretching far back into the arena. Chairs were also set up on the grass in a VIP seating area. Other fans crowded into the bleachers for a higher-up vantage point of the T’s.
Vendor booths stayed busy, and a bounce house staged at the back of the Sunbowl occupied the younger members of the crowd, as the stadium filled with buzzing spectators. Pre-concert entertainers warmed up the crowd and then, late but worth the wait, the Plain White T’s themselves took the stage amid screams and cheers.
