Kenny Chesney Tour: Will 'Pirate Flag' Singer Be Banned From Pittsburgh After Leaving Massive Mess?

Heinz Field is reeling after a concert for 58,000 fans left the parking lot destroyed and 150 fans in the hospital. Was it a hardcore metal show? A rowdy rap concert? Nope. The man whose show is responsible for the widespread destruction is none other than beachy country star Kenny Chesney. Pittsburgh natives are considering banning the 'Pirate Flag' singer from their city after his massive show left an equally massive mess.

But in light of the piles of garbage, empty beer bottles and even furniture, some are calling for a ban of future Chesney concerts. A "Ban Kenny Chesney from Pittsburgh" Facebook page has been created, sparking mixed reactions.

Livy Hantz said in a Facebook comment, "It's because all of the irresponsible hoopies who don't think there are repercussions to their actions."

"The mess is not country. Country people take care of their messes.  It's like city folks going to something and taking their city trash with them," said Jim Bennett.

Donna M. Giel said, "They are local young people there just for the party. They show up early in the morning, party all day and then slowly trickle out once the concert starts. This phenomenon has grown each year and seems exclusive to Pittsburgh."

In another Facebook post, Whitney Hodgson said, "If this was done at Wiz Khalifa there would be hell to pay and racial slurs thrown left and right. This is beyond ridiculous. It's disgusting. It's trashy. And it's pathetic."

According to Allegheny County Emergency Services, 30 people were taken to the hospital, 150 patients were seen by EMS at the scene, and five arrests were made throughout the day. Over 100 police officers and 43 paramedics were working at the event. 

The admin of the "Ban Kenny Chesney From Pittsburgh" page (which has received 7,000+ likes since joining Facebook on Sunday) has made his point clear with several posts of the wreckage and a few notes.

The admin recently wrote:

"Some FACTS:

- NO, it is not Kenny Chesney's FAULT that a portion of his fans were (very possibly literally) born in a barn. However, the best way to keep that portion of fans away from the city would be to not invite Mr. Chesney back.
- To those that say this happens at other concerts (and digging up a story from an Aerosmith show from 40 years ago isn't valid) or Steelers games, the Tribune Review stated that trash was FIVE TIMES that of a Steeler game.
- There are streets in the North Side that STILL smell like urine. Cyclists have reported flat tires because some fans felt it necessary to break beer bottles. "
