On a rainy Thursday night, Lynyrd Skynyrd turned the New York State Fair into Sweet Home Syracuse.

The Southern rock band drew an estimated 33,000 fans to their concert on the Suburban Park stage, according to fair officials. It was the second-biggest crowd of this year’s NYS Fair (behind Jessie Murph), and 17th largest crowd of all time — more than Skynyrd’s 2017 show at Chevy Court, attended by 28,400 people.
