They should stick Jerry Jones in there before the implosion.

Is this the right room for an argument?

“That aside lets take a look at the Texas Stadium history and honor the longtime home of the Dallas Cowboys....”

Let’s not... not because I hate the cowboys but hate football and texas all in the same breath....

Might be fun to watch. I remember when they exploded three river stadium and atlanta stadium.

Its pretty sad really

I wonder if Dallas is the first town to have two sports complex demolitions in the same year, Reunion Arena was taken down earlier this year.

[dfwgator]

It's also probably another end of an era here in Dallas:

This the end? Modano returns to where it started

If anyone did not get a chance to see the Stars fans paying tribute to Modano the other night, try to find it on YouTube, it was truly a special moment.

Thanks Mike for all the great memories.

I first watched the Cowboys play in the Cotton Bowl when Eddie LeBaron was the quarterback. I left Texas in 1967 and never watched them play in Texas Stadium. I only saw the place from the outside, coming in/out of DFW on later visits, but I thought it was the ugliest stadium I had ever seen. Glad to see it go.

The implosion will be sponsored by Kraft Macaroni & Cheese oddly enough, because nothing says buy macaroni & cheese like an implosion.

LOL

[KoRn]

Very sad to see it go.

I wish I could have visited the dome with the hole in the roof...

[Dallas59]

Just turn it into a jail for the Cowboys.

[notdownwidems]

You’ve gotta be kidding! I clicked on this thread to see some pics of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders! Come on, guys!

[Huntress]

Clint Murchison is probably turning over in his grave.

P’dingh

One of my brothers was a member of MacArthur High School Class of '75. The class was so big, they held the ceremony in Texas Stadium.

Somewhere my folks have a pic of him standing on the 50 yard line getting his diploma.

I’m betting that FoxNews breaks away for a commercial and has to show the implosion via video tape.

They have a history of doing just that.

[TomGuy]

Fireworks going off live at the stadium.

Nearing implosion time.

CNN covering live.

[TomGuy]

Gone in 20 seconds.

Kind of sad.

WFAA TV showed the aerial without all the screen graphics on CNN. FoxNews cut away almost immediately after the implosion.

I don’t care.

I played HS football in that staudium. Damn shame to see it go down and what a WASTE of resources. They couldn't figure out a better use for it like renting / leasing for big games in local school districts or filling in the building with internal supports and making an office building out of it????

Blowing up a perfectly good building is a criminal waste but never underestimate the power of stupid people with explosives.
