It doesn’t seem possible, but nearly twelve years ago, in 2012, the icon announced his retirement from touring. After selling more than 100 million records worldwide, he was slowing down.
espite retiring from touring, the “Check Yes or No” singer continues to break records. His fans are having no trouble deciding whether to “Check Yes or No” when it comes to his June 15 concert at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas.
Announced on March 19, fans flocked to buy tickets. In fact, more than 100,000 tickets have already been sold. That makes this concert on track to break Strait’s already set all-time attendance record of 104,793 that he recorded in 2014 at AT & T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Kyle Field is one of the largest capacity stadiums in college football, which will make breaking his own record quite achievable.
The concert being dubbed as ‘The King at Kyle Field’ will be arranged so that the entire stage can be surrounded by fans
With 33 Platinum and Multi-platinum albums, Strait won’t have any trouble filling the stadium with sing along songs for his adoring fans.
Apparently, the Cowboy hasn’t Ridden Away quite yet. When the King announces a concert, his fans come alive. We may not be seeing him grace the stages of the awards shows, but without a question, his music is known and loved by droves.

Teachers are some of the most important people in our community, and yet they are one of the most undervalued.
It takes a special person to dedicate their life to educate others, serve as role models, give advice, and mentor the younger generations.
We often hear about how teachers have gone above and beyond to help others and, more specifically, the children in their care.
One such hero is Jonathan Oliver – a phys-ed teacher at WG Nunn Elementary in Valdosta, Georgia – who was recognized for his kind act towards a kindergartener while coaching a basketball game.
After one of his students came to him for assistance, he was only more than happy to help her.
When one of the kindergarteners on Oliver’s basketball team, Kristen Paulk, asked him to help tie her hair back in a ponytail, the coach sprang into action.
Taking a knee on a basketball to get down to little Kristen’s level, Oliver appeared concentrated as he worked on tying her braids back away from her face. Though, unbeknownst to him, he was being recorded.
In fact, Kandice Anderson, another teacher at the elementary school, filmed the coach’s sweet gesture — eventually posting it on YouTube, where he received heartfelt support from the public.
The title of the viral video read: “When your job goes beyond teaching!”
The footage eventually made its way to Good Morning America, who contacted the 34-year-old dad-of-three for an interview.
“It was sh.ocking to me that it got that much attention because we all do it,” Oliver Good Morning America, adding that he didn’t realize he was being filmed.
“We [teachers] want to make them feel likе they’re at home and that they enjoy being here,” he added. “We try to love on them as much as possible. To me, it was just a ponytail.”
The caring coach told the outlet that Kristen had asked him for help with putting a ponytail in her hair during a basketball game, but that his expertise sadly does not extend beyond that – even though he often helps with styling his daughter’s hair.
“It was a good thing she asked for a ponytail. Anything else, I’d say, ‘You better ask your mom,’” he joked.
Kristen’s mom, Miyah Cleckley, told the outlet that the video really touched her, saying: “I always know that Kristen is in very good hands with him. I thought it was really cute because her father he does their hair a lot. We have five girls and one son so when I’m working he has to pick up the weight of doing their hair.”
This story is just one of many stories about teacher’s going above and beyond for their students. They truly are heroes!
