Country music legend George Strait made history with his concert at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, playing to a record-breaking 110,905 fans. This set a new U.S. record for a ticketed concert, surpassing The Grateful Dead's previous record. Strait, amazed by the crowd, expressed his excitement and connection to the Texas A&M University team during the show. This event also broke the attendance record at Kyle Field for a single event, even surpassing the Aggies football team's games. George Strait broke his own Texas record set in 2014 with this concert. The country icon's tour has only four remaining dates, with the next concert scheduled at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. The concert was attended by notable figures like new Texas A&M football coach Mike Elko and Sen. Ted Cruz, who showed their support for The King of country music.
