Bruce Springsteen at the NCAA's March Madness Music Festival

NCAA's March Madness isn’t over just yet! This year, the Music festival includes a free concert show by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on April 6 at the Old Reunion Arena. The organizers expect the site to be jam-packed with somewhere between 30,000 and 40,000 concertgoers. The first-come, first-served festival is non-ticketed; therefore the limited parking, long lines, and heavy police presence will be expected. Once the park's capacity nears full, everyone involved in the event will eventually start spreading the word to stay away.

Bruce Springsteen is not the only name performing that weekend. Jason Aldean, the country chart topper and current Academy of Country Music male vocalist of the year, will headline the AT &T Block Part on April 4, while Tim McGraw and the Killers are among those scheduled to headline the Coke Zero Countdown the following day. The site for Springsteen and the band on the Capital One Jam Fest is chosen because it was the best option available, as AT & T Stadium would be busy hosting basketball and it's located right next to Union Station.

The police had no time to prepare, as the band wasn't announced until the last moment. But this time around, they will have weeks to prepare. Anderson and the local organizing committee worked with Turner Love Events and the NCAA to secure the site by coordinating with the Dallas Police Department, Dallas Fire-Rescue, Dallas Area Rapid Transit and Dallas City Hall.
