According to TicketNews’ exclusive venues rankings for the week ending Sunday, June 19, Yankee Stadium held firm to its leader position of last week, taking the top spot for two weeks running.

The Stadium’s New York Yankees had strong enough secondary sales to take the team to No. 4 on this week’s Top Sports Events rankings, despite strong competition from the CONCACAF soccer tournament. But the primary contributor to the Stadium’s impressive performance has to be Paul McCartney and his On the Run tour, which dominated both this week’s Top Concert and Top Events rankings. McCartney just added a second date to his much-anticipated mid-July appearance at the Stadium and will now play the venue on July 15 and 16. Yankee Stadium finished the week with a power score of 5.07.

UPDATE – Monday, June 20, 5:00 p.m. (EDT):
The itinerary below for Paul McCartney's On the Run Tour has been updated to include newly announced second-nights in Montreal (on July 27) and Chicago (August 1). With these additions, his confirmed concerts now tally 8 total.
