George Strait, alongside two opening acts, set a new record at Kyle Field in College Station with over 110,905 attendees, making it the most-attended ticketed concert in the United States. The event surpassed a Grateful Dead show in 1977 with over 107,000 attendees. Despite Kyle Field's seating capacity of 102,733, additional floor seating and standing room were utilized for the concert. The lineup included Catie Offerman and Parker McCollum before George Strait took the stage for a memorable performance. This historic event marked George Strait's only show in Texas on his current tour and was the first-ever concert held at Kyle Field. The record-breaking turnout also exceeded the attendance of the biggest event previously held at the stadium, an Ole-Miss vs. Texas A&M football game in 2014 with 110,633 attendees.
