Kenny Chesney has two Goin’ Coastal shows in the books so far, and already some of the biggest names in sports have attended:

Kenny Chesney huddled with football players like Joe Namath, Jason Witten of the Dallas Cowboys, Mike Vrabel of the Kansas City Chiefs, Wes Welker and Matt Light of the New England Patriots and Steve Hutchinson of the Minnesota Vikings at the launch of his Goin’ Coastal tour in West Palm Beach, Fla., on Thursday (March 17).

For his stadium tour date with Zac Brown Band on Saturday (March 19), Chesney’s backstage guests included Nick Swisher of the New York Yankees, Super Bowl-winning Monday Night Football commentator Jon Gruden, Philadelphia Phillies players Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Chase Utley and former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz.

Also, pro golfer Stewart Cink tweeted: “At Kenny Chesney concert tonight in Tampa. Don’t know one song.” He did tweet the next day that he attended the show with his son: “FYI I went to Chesney concert with my son, Connor, 17, last night. Not exactly a wild night of partying!! We had a good time though.”
