Popular country singer Garth Brooks played the second of seven sold-out concerts at the 6,700-seat Sioux Falls Arena today in 1997. Brooks' stint set many Arena records, including the most consecutive concerts, the largest-grossing event at over $700,000 and the fastest sell-out of the Arena. After less than two hours of ticket sales, nearly 40,000 seats were bought.
