On 19 August 2009 Sir Paul McCartney played a concert at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, TX.

5th row center seated at end of row
To say it was a great show is an understatement
God Bless the Beatles!!! and all fans
This was my first visit to this new venue. The sound was surprisingly good. The stange was around the 20 yard line, so I’d guess 75% of the seats were available, and it appeared full. While this concert was great fun, Paul did not sound nearly as good or seem as lively as he did at Reunion Arena in 2003. Perhaps he was a little older, or still sad about his divorce?
