Any fan of George Strait was probably just happy to be at AT&T Stadium for his final tour date ever back on June 7. But Dallas native D. Foster got more than that, capturing a photo of the final moments of the concert that has now been immortalized on the back cover of Strait’s new live album, The Cowboy Rides Away: Live From AT&T Stadium.

Foster was on the floor of AT&T Stadium, just feet away from the stage, when he snapped the striking image, which shows Strait being showered by confetti while surrounded by his band and the variety of big-name stars who showed up to pay tribute to him that night.

Foster, who showed up an hour and half early to the concert to find just the right spot in which to take pictures, shared the photo on Twitter after the concert. A couple of months later, Strait’s manager contacted him, saying that they wanted to feature it on the new album.

“This was truly one of the greatest experiences of my life. I’ve loved George Strait’s music for over 30 years — and to capture such a perfect moment at his last concert is something I’ll remember for the rest of my life,” said Foster in a release.

The Cowboy Rides Away: Live From AT&T Stadium, which was released on September 16, features 20 songs, including duets with Jason Aldean, Ray Benson, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill, Faith Hill, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Strait’s son Bubba.

How to catch the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight at AT&T Stadium Arlington

In his spare time, Jake Paul is also designing menu items for Dog Haus.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul had to wait an extra four months for his high-profile match with 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

The delay from the original plan for July was caused by Tyson having a medical episode on a plane and needing time to recover from a stomach ulcer.

But now the rescheduled bout is set for November 15 at the $1.2 billion retractable-roof home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys in Arlington. The state has sanctioned it as a pro fight with some modifications.

Here's a guide for watching the fight:

When is the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight?

It's hard to give an exact time for the main event Friday night, but it could approach 11 pm. The telecast starts at 7 pm Dallas time.

Is the Tyson-Paul fight free on Netflix?

While this isn't the more common, and more expensive, pay-per-view format followed by most major boxing events, it does require a Netflix subscription. Netflix reported more than 280 million subscribers worldwide at the end of the third quarter in 2024.

What are the odds on the Tyson-Paul fight?

Paul is a minus-200 betting favorite, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. That means the payout for a Paul victory would be about half the amount of any bet. The most bet prop is for Tyson to win by KO/TKO or DQ (+275), followed by Tyson to win on points (+1000) and Tyson to win in the first round (+1400).

What's the age difference between the fighters?

It's 31 years. Paul is 27.

When was Tyson's last sanctioned fight?

Tyson retired in 2005 with a record of 50-6, with 44 knockouts, after losing to Kevin McBride. He fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition four years ago. Paul is 10-1 with seven knockouts against mostly undistinguished opponents. His loss was to Tommy Fury, the less-accomplished half-brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

How many rounds are scheduled for the Tyson-Paul fight?

The fight is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds, as opposed to the normal three minutes and 10 or 12 rounds for most pro fights. Tyson and Paul also will use heavier gloves with the idea of decreasing the power of punches. The gloves will be 14 ounces instead of 10. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has said Tyson's physical condition met the criteria for the fight to proceed.

What are the purses?

According to reports, Paul will make $40 million and Tyson about $20 million. Paul did mention his number at a news conference in August.
