In response, they've stepped up patrols and have extra resources in town just in case.

"One thing that is a little weird is they have 10 gates that they are opening up all at once usually that causes chaos I've seen a lot of people rushing will see how that works out," said Troy Keim of California.

This is the first paid concert in the newly-renovated venue. String Cheese Incident plays again Wednesday before heading to Red Rocks.
