Kenny Chesney<\/a> doesn’t just rehearse for his stadium tours in a rehearsal hall. He actually rents out a stadium for an entire week.<\/p>\n That’s quite the task.<\/p>\n Chesney recently talked about his tour rehearsals on the BobbyCast<\/a> and explained why they need the extra space.<\/p>\n “For the last several years, we’ve opened our tour in Tampa, and we’re gonna do that again next summer,” Chesney said. “And we’ll be there for a week before the first show.”<\/p>\n “There’s so many moving parts that goes into it, and you can’t simulate that in a really small space or in a, even in a really big rehearsal space,” he explained. “So you have to go and set everything up to see how it looks, and if something’s not right, you gotta fix it.”<\/p>\n Major pro stadiums do not publicly list rental pricing, since each event is different and requires a custom quote. But various internet sources estimate daily costs between $400,000 and upward of $2 million, depending on a number of factors.<\/p>\n “You have to pay every day when you rent that stadium. Every day that you’re in it, you have to pay for it,” Chesney said.<\/p>\n Maybe Chesney gets a discount for being a repeat customer?<\/p>\n Chesney had some jokes about it though… “They’re like, ‘Hey, you get us a little stadium punch card, after the fourth, you get a fifth night for free.'”<\/p>\n The best part is that Chesney and his crew apparently have some freedom to enjoy the stadium when they’re not rehearsing.<\/p>\n “We can do anything we want that’s legal,” he said.<\/p>\n That has included playing flag football in the stadium and even watching games on the giant screen.<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/em>:<\/strong>\u00a0Kenny Chesney Says He\u2019s Open to Finding Love Again<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n If it was me, I would surely hook a Playstation or XBox to the giant scoreboard and have some fun.<\/p>\n Chesney seemed to find a better way to spend his downtime in an empty football stadium, though.<\/p>\n “One year we watched the Final Four on our big screen in there,” Chesney said. “We had a bar set on stage, and we watched the Final Four up there one year. It was great.”<\/p>\n Not a bad way to spend rehearsal week!<\/p>\n What truly separates Chesney \u2014 a 2025 Country Music Hall of Fame inductee \u2014 from other artists is his third act.
