Great news for Dallas.
**************************
Yep. Great that Dallas wasn’t even contending!

In late ‘80s or early ‘90s, I was a Mgr. at a major defense contractor in DFW. All in Mgt. positions had to attend two big meetings pushing the DFW Metro area (Dallas, Fort Worth, Denton) for a Summer Olympics. ...There were Mayors, major current and past pro sports figures, State and Federal politicians pushing the idea to us, using lots of computer graphics showing the “Olympic Village” and all the venues.

Fortunately, Texans refused to buy-in to the scheme because they knew it would be nothing more than a MONEY PIT!
