This weekend, Baylor will welcome nearly 40,000 country music fans to our home city of Waco for The Boys from Oklahoma Texas Encore<\/a>.<\/p>\n This special McLane Stadium concert will feature country music stars Cross Canadian Ragweed and Turnpike Troubadours, as well as special guests Shane Smith and the Saints, Waco\u2019s own Wade Bowen, and American Aquarium.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can\u2019t wait to welcome The Boys from Oklahoma down I-35 and into the Heart of Texas for what promises to be an incredible show at McLane Stadium,\u201dsays Baylor vice-president and chief marketing officer Jason Cook. \u201cWe appreciate the opportunity to showcase these legendary bands not only for the Baylor community and Waco, but for all of Texas. This event will be a perfect way to kick off the fall semester as we head into the football season opener against Auburn next weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n With nearly 36,000 tickets already sold, Saturday\u2019s concert will be the biggest non-football event in McLane Stadium history. That makes this a notable economic driver for Waco even before football season begins, as many of those out-of-town concertgoers will also fill local hotels and visit local restaurants and shops.<\/p>\n \u201cWaco invested in McLane Stadium to help make it a reality, and we\u2019re happy to be able to give back to the community by allowing the use of the stadium for such events,\u201d says Cook. \u201cThis isn\u2019t really a Baylor event; it\u2019s a community event. Music brings people together, and we\u2019re excited that so many new visitors will get to experience McLane Stadium, the new Waco, and the energy behind our great city.\u201d<\/p>\n A very limited number of tickets remain for the Aug. 23 concert; get yours before they\u2019re gone<\/a>. (It\u2019s also highly recommended that concertgoers purchase parking in advance<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, Waco concerts!<\/p>\n [Also part of this fall\u2019s Waco Live! concert series: GRAMMY winner Lauren Daigle<\/a>, comedian Jeff Dunham<\/a> (BA \u201986), and rising country star Tucker Wetmore.<\/a> Tickets for all three Foster Pavilion concerts are now available<\/a>.]<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www2.baylor.edu \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This weekend, Baylor will welcome nearly 40,000 country music fans to our home city of Waco for The Boys from Oklahoma Texas Encore.
