Follow these rules to 'Get Along' at the Kenny Chesney concert
Hey, "No Shoes Nation," there are some rules to follow if you want to "Get Along" with authorities at the June 2 Kenny Chesney concert at Heinz Field.
Heinz Field management is reminding fans of stadium policies that are in place for the event. There also are rules for parking lot conduct to avoid the alcohol-fueled incidents and mountains of trash left behind at previous Chesney concerts.

Just overheard Kenny Chesney say on the radio that Pittsburgh is by far his favorite city to come and perform in and that just makes me ever more hype for Saturday
