Garth Brooks packed the LSU Tiger Stadium where he gave a groundbreaking concert. Quite literally; ground breaking. During one of Brooks’ most popular songs, ‘Callin’ Baton Rouge’ naturally a Louisiana crowd pleaser, the University had an idea to do a little science experiment.
Brooks’ concert was so thunderous, it registered as an actual small earthquake. Louisiana State University had the clever idea to run a seismograph during the song. Tiger Stadium holds over 102,000 people and was sold out for the concert.
One person asked on Twitter “Is somebody at (LSU) running the seismograph for when he plays Callin’ BR or…?” The official LSU Twitter account replied directly saying “Actually…yes” with the link directly to the seismograph.
Another Twitter user tweeted a photo of the seismograph and circled the point of action when “Callin’ Baton Rouge played.” The concert took place Saturday night, just east of the Mississippi River in none other than Baton Rouge.
“Callin’ Baton Rouge” is a crowd favorite, often played at LSU football and basketball games, as well as many bars in the area. Brooks enjoyed his night with the over 100 thousand fans and thanked them for a great night on Twitter with photos of the packed arena and the caption “UN-FREEEEEAKING REAL!!!! LSU…tonight was better than my wildest dreams !!!! loge, g #GARTHinBATONROUGE”
