Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Sunday, several Potawatomi Hotel & Casino security for the Outdoor Amplified Stage denied access to Hispanic News Network U.S.A.  (HNNUSA) to video and photo record Mexican accordion singer Ramón Ayala as hundreds at the VIP Standing section were recording and snapping close-up photos.

HNNUSA as a courtesy asked the security at the Amplified Stage VIP Pit Standing section, if we could get close access to Ayala's live performance, but a female security personnel when asked, denied access to HNNUSA after she notified the head of security by hand radio and he said, that HNNUSA could be allowed to take videos and photos from any area at the Amplified outdoor stage area, but was not allowed to get access to the VIP Pit Standing section without a valid wristband. So, HNNUSA decided not to record any video or photos of the Ayala live performance for public news coverage.

Ayala is set to retire soon and his current concert tour could be his last.

Also, reporting that on Sunday, the Ayala live concert bombed, in other words, the Amplified outdoor stage area was about a 1/4 full (less than 2,000 Tejano America Fest enthusiasts attended), according to estimated head count attendance by HNNUSA.

On Saturday, July 27, 2024, the attendance was much less and the VIP Pit Standing section was opend to those attending after 6:30 p.m., it seems that the 2-day Tejano America Fest 2024 bombed (failed to attract thousands of  Grupo Duelo, Jennifer Peña, Bobby Pulido, South TX Homies,  and Ramón Ayala fans) over the weekend.

The Tejano and Mexican groups contracted by Potawatomi and who performed live over the weekend at the Amplified Stage are well known and carry a large fan base.
