In a feat that seems to daringly challenge the adage that records are meant to be broken, George Strait has set a new benchmark in the annals of live music history. His concert at Kyle Field, which took place on Saturday in College Station, corralled an astounding 110,905 fans, according to Fox San Antonio. This colossal gathering surpassed The Grateful Dead's 1977 concert attendance, establishing Strait's performance as the largest ticketed event in the U.S.

Strait, no stranger to commanding vast herds of listeners, has indeed topped his own record. His 2014 spectacle at Arlington's AT&T Stadium lassoed 104,793 people. This time, he not only left that number in the dust but also managed to draw a crowd larger than any football game has ever done at Kyle Field, reports USA Today. It seems everything is bigger in Texas, and Strait's concert is now the living, twanging proof. "We got some Aggies out there? Oh yeah!" Strait reportedly exclaimed to the crowd, as per USA Today, marking his inaugural visit to the renowned venue.

The legendary country music artist's performance was more than a mere concert; it was a cultural moment that brought together fans and notable personalities alike. Among the luminaries in attendance were Governor Greg Abbott, who took to X to express his awe "Unbelievable concert by the King, George Strait. Largest packed house for a concern in America. Ever.", and new Texas A&M football coach Mike Elko along with Senator Ted Cruz, who mingled with the crowd of Strait enthusiasts. Elko, faced with a scheduling conflict due to a delayed Aggies game in Nebraska, chose to soak up the tunes of "The King" at Kyle Field, opting to support the AggieBaseball team later.

With four more shows lined up on his tour, Strait seems hardly ready to slow his roll. The next stop for the country star is set for June 29 at Salt Lake City's Rice-Eccles Stadium.
