I went to at least a half dozen Hoedowns from the late 1990's to around 2009. I never witnessed or heard of any stabbings or shootings associated with the event. The biggest problem always seemed to be the belligerent drunks and a lot of underage drinking, but very little serious violence. Of course with 1000's of people [[Many of them drinking) there are fights, but I wouldn't say it's any worse that what I've witnessed at other large rock or country concerts.
