BALTIMORE — Troy Grevelding and his family were looking forward to Friday’s Morgan Wallen concert at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore after making the drive from their home in Syracuse, New York. The trip was three years in the making, he said, after earlier shows they had tickets for were postponed or canceled.

But their experience was abruptly ruined when a visibly intoxicated concertgoer urinated on the family, including on Grevelding’s 8-year-old niece. The man was escorted out of the concert following the incident, but police said they could not do anything else.

“You traumatized this poor kid,” Grevelding said. “You traumatized my wife. It traumatized me. You think that’s what I wanted to see when I went to a country concert?”

Grevelding’s first interaction with the man was at the beginning of the concert after Grevelding confronted him for repeatedly bumping into him and speaking loudly on the phone — Grevelding said the man admitted on his phone call that the seats he was occupying were not his. Later, Grevelding said, he apologized to the man for the way he came across and said that they had cordial conversations.

About four songs into Wallen’s set, Grevelding and his wife felt a “wetness” on their legs, initially assuming someone had spilled something. When he turned around, he saw the man bent over with his pants halfway down and genitalia exposed.

Grevelding began to push the man, yelling at him to leave and calling him “sick.” In response, the man repeated, “Man, it’s OK.”

Maryland State Police and Maryland Transportation Authority Police removed the man from the stands and escorted him out of the stadium. They gave Grevelding the man’s name, but said that there was nothing more they could do since they did not witness the incident, Grevelding said.

“They weren’t going to prosecute,” he said. “They weren’t going to try to figure anything out until I got my phone out and I started recording people — and obviously, once you’re being recorded, things are going to be held accountable.”

MDTA Police said they are aware of the incident and the social media video and said there is an open criminal investigation regarding the incident, according to a Tuesday statement.

State Police referred to MTDA’s investigation when The Baltimore Sun requested a comment. Morgan Wallen’s media team did not immediately respond to a request for comment. M&T Bank Stadium officials couldn’t be reached.

MDTA Police began to look further into the situation after Grevelding began recording, he said.

Grevelding posted the video of his interaction with police to Facebook. As of Tuesday, the video has more than 970,000 views.

Support from social media has helped to spread the word about the incident and push Grevelding to seek accountability, he said. He also had people message him reporting that the man continued to expose himself outside after he was kicked out of the concert.

Until the situation went viral, Grevelding did not hear from anyone involved in the incident, he said. He spoke to a stadium representative Tuesday morning, who he said was understanding of the situation. He wants to know how the stadium and police plan to handle situations like these in the future.

“If there were ushers checking tickets and putting people in the right seats, this gentleman wouldn’t have been behind me,” he said.
