Country music icon George Strait has sold out two shows at Jones Stadium on the campus of Texas Tech this weekend.
Initially planned as a single show, Strait added a second concert on Friday with Zach Top and Dylan Gossett; He’ll play Saturday night again with Miranda Lambert and Hudson Westbrook. Both shows are slated for 5:45 p.m.

Texas Tech’s annual football spring game, played last Friday at Jones Stadium, marked the end of spring football practices. Maybe Joey McGuire shows up to one of the shows to blow off steam? Who knows.
