Night three of the Albertsons Boise Open and fans once again packed the 18th fairway for the second concert of the week. I'm your neighborhood reporter Alexander Huddleston and after the show cancellation Friday night folks were excited to see a performance by the Goo Goo Dolls.
As fans filed into the venue, organizers and sponsors revealed that $3 million was raised for charities through the ticket sales for the concerts.
But for as exciting as this is, fans were just as excited to see the Goo Goo Dolls take the stage.
One fan said, "I love them, I grew up listening to them, they're one of my favorite artists of all time honestly."
"Got golf in the afternoon and then you get to end it off with a good concert," shrugged another.
One lifelong fan explained, "Me and my twin brother saw them when we were 18 years old. About 200 people at the Whiskey a Go Go. It's a really cool feeling to be here and see them again 33 years later."
"I'm so excited, the Goo Goo Dolls are literally my favorite band ever," smiled one fan in the front of the crowd.
The other added, "Ready to see John Rzeznik absolutely shred the guitar."
"I'm really excited to see them. I liked them back in the 90s when I was a teenager, and I'm just really excited to be able to see them here," said one fan celebrating her birthday.
Another fan said, "They are my favorite band. I like golf, but Goo Goo Dolls for sure."
His friend added "I've been listening to them since the Warner studio album. Lost, Indestructible, the live version of Naked."
