It\u2019s amazing. Right. Looks like a lot of people had a lot of fun in here.

It was a record-making, record-breaking, history-making night. To be able to make a record as far as the Baldies and the fans, which, you know, I always say it as a truth, without them there\u2019s no Pitbull bottom line. And to have the Guinness Book of World Record is phenomenal. To break the attendance record, and it was Garth Brooks who had it before, and him passing the baton, I mean, it\u2019s just priceless. Speaking of Garth Brooks, hey, it\u2019s good to have friends in low places.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLeila Cobo\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tSalud, Garth Brooks.
