Country music superstar Kenny Chesney is rolling into town this weekend to treat his Pittsburgh fans to a concert at Heinz Field.
Thousands of fans are set to descend on Heinz Field this Saturday to see their favorite entertainer during the Pittsburgh stop of his "Poets and Pirates Tour 2008."
But bringing the show to Pittsburgh isn't easy.
Earlier this week, more than 50 trucks hauling lights, speakers, microphones, Chesney's wardrobe and the stage itself pulled into the 'Burgh to start setting up.
Set-up crews say the stage is 218 feet wide and 70 feet tall. Also, four and a half miles of cords are being run across the stage to make sure the crowd has the best experience possible.
Chesney will be joined other country acts including Keith Urban, LeAnn Rimes, Gary Allen and Luke Bryan.
Tickets are still available through Ticketmaster or you can get them day of at Heinz Field Gate B at 1 p.m.
