No, the reason it's still in the Cotton Bowl is that the City tripled the subsidy, and Jones isn't interested in paying out, he's interested in taking in.
There are rumors that the State Fair could be moving as well. The only thing Big D has done is pushed DART to open a track and station in Fair Park. Otherwise Empress Miller had killed any other attempt at creating an environment for redevelopment in that crap hole that is Fair Park. Will be interesting to see what the new mayor will do. I don’t know much about him.
