Four-star offensive tackle Davis Seaman, a Columbus native, commits to Ohio State.
Luke Combs shattered the attendance record for a concert at Ohio Stadium by more than 20,000.
The country music star’s concert at Ohio Stadium on Saturday night drew a crowd of 97,367 fans to the Shoe, breaking the previous record of 75,245 fans for a Pink Floyd concert at Ohio Stadium in 1994.
Way to go, Columbus!

You set the record for the largest single-night concert crowd at Ohio Stadium and @lukecombs biggest show ever.

The record-setting crowd was made possible by a stage design that hadn’t previously been used inside the Shoe. While previous concerts at Ohio Stadium put the stage in one end zone, preventing tickets from being sold on that side of the stadium, Combs utilized an in-the-round stage design in the middle of the field, allowing tickets to be sold throughout the Horseshoe, which has a capacity of more than 100,000 for Ohio State football games.
Combs’ concert included an appearance from former Ohio State football stars Will Howard, Sonny Styles and Carnell Tate. During his performance of his song “1, 2 Many,” Combs invited Howard, Styles and Tate on stage along with Columbus Blue Jackets star Zach Werenski. Howard and Werenski proceeded to shotgun a beer with Combs.
Combs’ concert was the first of four that will be held at Ohio Stadium this spring and summer. The Shoe will also host a Bruno Mars concert on May 20, Buckeye Country Superfest on June 13 and AC/DC on July 15 before preparations begin for another season of football games at The House That Harley Built, starting with the Buckeyes’ season opener vs. Ball State on Sept. 5.
