As long as God can watch his favorite football team, its ok with me. That's why Texas Stadium never had a roof. :)

It's what they picked as their FIRST choice, but not only choice, as reported. Only an idiot would think that Jerry would limit his choices, as he will play one city against the other and go to whereever place maximizes his pocketbook.

It will remain in Irving/Las Colinas, unless it goes to another burb like Grand Prairie. In fact, there's little question in my mind about that. Dallas doesn't have the ability to raise the revenue like Irving does through occupancy taxes, and Jerry does not want to get involved with the lunatics on the Dallas City council. The Irving city council will follow Jerry around like a dog.

Just say NO to welfare for billionaires. If Jerry wants his stadium at Fair Park great. Let him build it. Numerous studies say private stadiums earn the owners handsome profits. Why should taxpayers (yes that includes tourists who create jobs for Texas taxpayers)be taxed for Jerry's dream?

Get ready for pie in the sky promises of rejuvination of the "Southern Tier." Get ready for artist renderings of beautiful malls full of restaurants and kiosks and thousands of smiling affluent white shoppers around the stadium. Remember, the AA Center hype?

I'm all for a new stadium for Jerry. Let him build one. Otherwise, "NO TAXES FOR JERRY'S STADIUM."
