COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX/Gray News) – George Strait set a record on Saturday night for the concert with the largest attendance in a single night in the United States.
A record 110,905 people packed into Kyle Field at Texas A&M University to see Strait perform.
According to Billboard, the previous record for largest attendance was set when Grateful Dead performed in front of 107,019 people at Raceway Park in New Jersey in 1977.
That means Strait’s crowd beat the previous record by more than 3,000 people.
Concert-goer Tiffanie Reina described it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. She’s also happy about what the record-setting concert means for the community.
“I think the more recognition you bring to A&M and enjoy the great facilities that we have to make known, it’s great for the university, the city and everyone involved,” Reina said.
Strait has a few more dates on the schedule for 2024, including Salt Lake City, Detroit, Chicago and Las Vegas.
