I don’t get the focus on sports stadiums. If sports stadiums are going to be under water because of “climate change,” won’t the whole freakin’ city be under water??? Isn’t that a bit more of an issue, if you assume this climate change BS is true?

Here's one major fact for enviromental idiots.
From "Darwin's Ghost," a modern rewrite of Darwin's Origin by Steve Jones ...
" ... the summit of Everest is formed of rocks made in a shallow sea."
It's on page 252.

Even though Roger Waters is a flaming lefty, his lyric is very appropriate for this guy:
"Hey you, Whitehouse ... ha ha, charade you are ..."

Send all the climate nuts to a course in geology.
Give a quiz
First question: How many hundreds of thousands of years ago were Texas and Oklahoma under water and how long did it take for the tropical seas to cover them?
The RI loon can leave off the meds if he will only realize it would take thousands of years for the ocean to encroach so much, and he will be long gone.
Where do these people come up with the craziness and how can anyone take them seriously?

High schools around Texas have more impressive stadiums.Like this one in Allen?

In a few years, there will be a domed stadium in Frisco for the new practice facilities for the Dallas Cowboys. I believe it will hold up to 12,000 seats.

I don't think it's far fetched to predict that new stadia will be built in the Metroplex during the next 10 years.
BTW, I've seen two games at the Allen Stadium. Hard to believe that it's for high school football.
