Well, if Jones is serious about all the periphy uses and size of complex he intends to build, than it should go along way towards cleaning up the area immediately adjacent to Fair Park, at least a connection to Deep Ellum(of course that's a dicey area these days, and will be until they decide to get serious about the bums, crime, and a merit-based police chief.) So in some ways this might not be such a bad plan, getting 2 projects (stadium and Fair Park stabilization/reconnection) for the price of one. Then again, very, very little of the promised development around Victory or the Ballpark has taken place. So I'm still against this, but will at least see what all the details are. If the Patriots can build their own stadium, so too can the Cowboys.

Then again, it might be nice to go to a Red River Shootout without paid parking on the lawn of a crackhouse...

Yes I see the potential, but how wil this not get bogged down in racial issues when it comes to displacing the "old neighborhood"

I would really like to see some planning around here, and fair park could have been a jewel had it not been for lack of foresight.

perhaps they can fix it. Im skeptical of any planning dallas does

They will just have to wait their turn. First, they need to do the promised development around Reunion Arena that was promised 20 or 30 years ago.
