Background

In late 2007, Garth Brooks was slated to release The Ultimate Hits , a compilation and Brooks' first album featuring new music since 2001. [1] The album release coincided with Sprint Center's opening, prompting Brooks' agreement to one promotional concert; however, ticket demand was extremely high, resulting in an additional eight concerts added. [2] All concerts, consisting of nearly 160,000 tickets, sold out in less than two hours. [1]

The final concert of the series, held on November 14, 2007, was simulcast live via National CineMedia on more than 300 movie theaters throughout the United States. [3]
