University of Georgia President Mike Adams says he had some trepidation about hosting a concert at Sanford Stadium, which he said was a great success.

Adams tells The Athens Banner-Herald that he knew of nothing that happened at last Saturday’s that would make UGA officials reluctant to do it again.

About 66,000 fans attended the concert featuring Jason Aldean and other artists. The stadium seats about 93,000 fans for football, but fewer seats were available for the show because of the massive stage erected for the event.
