George Strait broke the record for most attendees at an indoor concert in North America on Saturday night (June 7). 104,793 fans joined him for the last stop of the Quicken Loans Presents: The Cowboy Rides Away Tour at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. King George welcomed eight superstar guests during the three-hour event, including Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert and Martina McBride.
The reigning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year performed 40 songs. Asleep at the Wheel opened the evening.
As part of the Military Warriors Support Foundation “Homes 4 Wounded Heroes” program, Strait presented Sergeant First Class Leroy Arthur Petry and his wife Ashley with a million dollar home in the Dallas area. Additionally, Strait’s charity auctions have raised $1,325,619 for The Jenifer Strait Foundation.
Adding to the emotional charge of Saturday night was the retirement of the stadium’s GM Bruce Hardy who has also celebrated 30+ years in the industry.
Other records set by Strait during his illustrious career: the most No. 1 singles of any artist in any genre, the only artist to chart a Top 10 hit every year for 30 years, and the most No. 1 albums, Gold albums, and Platinum albums in the history of Country music.
The indoor concert attendance record for North America was initially set by The Rolling Stones in 1981 at The Louisiana Superdome with a capacity of 87,500.
