Your move, Garth.

By virtue of Saturday night's concert, Taylor Swift can claim she brought more people — 73,117 — to Acrisure Stadium than any other artist or sporting event ever has.

Swift's 2018 show set a then-Heinz Field concert attendance record, at 56,445. Garth Brooks then demolished that mark a year later, with 72,887 goers.

The Swift concert on Friday night — the first of her two-night stand — drew approximately 72,000 fans.

The 2022 West Virginia University versus University of Pittsburgh football game holds the all-time record for sporting event attendance at the stadium, at just under 71,000.

Jeremy comes to Pittsburgh with a bevy of both commercial and public media experience, and many address changes along the way, including Parkersburg and Martinsburg, W.Va.; Galena, Alaska; Cambridge and Coshocton, Ohio; and Peoria, Ill. A native of Youngstown, Ohio, Jeremy is a proud alumnus of Ohio University, which is also where he got his first public radio experience (WOUB in Athens, Ohio).
