INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Officials from Witt Associates went over a timeline of events from the night of the concert and collapse.
The timeline included Fair officials expressing concerns about the weather and approaching Sugarland officials, suggesting they delay or cancel. When promoter Eric Milby was asked to convey the concerns to Sugarland's tour manager, Witt Associates said the tour manager’s response was, "It is only rain, we can play."
Later that night, State Police Capt. Brad Weaver told Fair officials to "shut it down." However, as Fair officials approached the stage to announce the delay, the stage collapsed.
