According to our media colleagues, WISH TV reports concert-goers for Saturday Sugarland concert stated an announcement was made from the stage just before it collapsed, most attendees were lead to believe that the weather wasn’t a serious threat, and the concert would proceed.
On Tuesday, a fan’s video emerged , revealed the exact announcement that was made from the stage:
“We are all hoping for the best, that the weather is going to bypass us. But there’s a very good chance that it won’t. So just a quick heads-up before the show starts: If there is a point during the show that we have to stop the show on stage, what we’d like to have you do is promptly move toward the exits and then head across the street to either to the Champions Pavilion, the Blue Ribbon Pavilion or the Pepsi Coliseum. And then, once the storm passes and everything’s safe, we’re going to try our best to come back and resume the show, which we have every belief that that is going to happen. So get ready, because in just a couple minutes we’re going to try to get Sugarland on stage. Have a great show!”
Now one official comments that The fair did not follow its own severe weather procedures Saturday night.
