“I grew up in South Texas and have always been a Dallas Cowboys fan,” said Strait. “I have a lot of great memories from playing the many shows we did at Texas Stadium, as well as watching America’s team win their share of Super Bowls. I am very excited about having the opportunity to do the first concert ever in the magnificent new Cowboys stadium and share this momentous occasion with all the incredible country music fans in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area.”
Parking lots will open at 2 pm, the stadium doors will open at 4 pm and show time is 5:30 pm.

George, what an Icon you are for county music. I’ve followed your career since you started and you are the best. All you have to do is put on your starched jeans & shirt, a hat, & strap on your guitar & sing from your heart. No gimmicks required. You are to be congratulated on achieving so many milestones in your career. You’ve been humble all the way. I’m hoping I get to attend the concert at the Cowboy Stadium. Senior citizen, living on a fixed income, etc., applies here, but I’m working on it. I think you’re the best and just keep on singing your songs.
One of many, many, many GS fans.
