How about training camp at JerryWorld?

While standing in his soon-to-be-completed, billion-plus-dollar football palace yesterday, Jerry Jones was asked whether he had considered Cowboys Stadium as a site for future training camps.

Jerry didn't think he could squeeze a training camp into the stadium's busy schedule.

"More than likely, we'll have too many events to work that in," he said. "It's hard to do if you're pretty booked up, especially if you're booked up a long time in advance. We more than likely wouldn't."

Jerry didn't mention the marketing opportunities the Cowboys cash in on by holding training camp in San Antonio and/or Oxnard, Calif. San Antonio and Southern California both have big Cowboys' fan bases, and holding training camps in those locales allows the Cowboys to reach fans that won't make it to Arlington.

What doesnt make sense to me was Irving tearing down Texas stadium. The Cowboys could practice there, college teams could play there, if Irving was smart they could still make a lot of money off of it. Just look at all the sports that could play in there.


Theres a lot that could be done there, I mean hell LA still uses that broke down Colosseum for all kinds of sports venues, Irving could use Texas stadium the same. With Jerrys outlandish rental prices on the new house, Texas stadium would be a cheaper alternative.
