Update: Garth Brooks Adds 2nd Minneapolis Show at Governor’s Request
ST. PAUL (AP) -- Country superstar Garth Brooks says Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is why he's adding a second concert when he visits Minneapolis.
Brooks told reporters during a call Monday that his upcoming stadium tour is ``all about one special night.'' But the 50,000 tickets for his May 4 show sold out within an hour Friday, so officials at the state-owned U.S. Bank Stadium asked the governor to ask Brooks to add a second show, which Dayton did via Twitter. Brooks says that was enough to get him to relax his one-night-only rule.
The second show will be May 3. Dayton plans to attend.
Brooks planned to make the announcement at a news conference with Dayton at the state Capitol, but the musician's plane's door wouldn't close, so he couldn't fly in.
