The band is scheduled to play at Wrigley Field two days after the show at Stambaugh Stadium.
“Zac Brown Band is playing some of the most sought-after stages in the country, including Wrigley Field and The Gorge,” Muransky said.”To add a stop in Youngstown at Stambaugh Stadium really speaks to the gravity of the event. What started as a pipe dream a few years ago is actually exceeding our expectations. An artist of this magnitude will undoubtedly be a night Youngstown will never forget.”
