cowboyed said:Oh ok k19, I am a transplanted diehard Cowboys fan who happens to live in Jacksonville. You absolutely don't know what you are talking about. And I have lived in Mesquite, Dallas and Houston for that matter.
Alltel Stadium is located between the edge of downtown and the beginning of the industrial area along the St. Johns River. If it is so bad why did they host the Superbowl here let alone build a stadium. Every large city has its low income and industrial corridors.
Jacksonville, territorially is actually the size of its county and has a number of prominent neighborhoods and suburbs including but not limited to San Marco, Southpoint, San Pablo, Mandarin, Ortega, Riverside, Bartram, etc..
Jacksonville has a formidable medical community and is a growing international port city. It is increasingly being used by the film industry for movie shoots because of pockets of old and new architecture and nearby parks and beaches. In the early 1900's Jacksonville was the Hollywood of the East.
This town like Dallas is not perfect and has its beauty marks and warts. I will be going to the Cowboys game thanks to a vendor who gave me two club seat tickets. I am ecstatic. The Jaguars have a very good team and are not to be understimated. I hope we kick their butts as I am so sick of hearing about them, living here.
I am not the public relations hot shot for this city. But Jacksonville is only a fraction of what you describe.

cowboyed said:Silverstar, are you being facetious or for real? In the aggregate there are more Cowboys fans outside of the Dallas Ft. Worth area. That goes regionally, nationally and internationally.
I have been a Dallas Cowboys fan for over 20 years. Used to ref offseason tournaments involving Cowboys and other NFL teams players. Played matches against a number of Cowboys players and other pro football players who were racquetball fans. Some played for a little prize money, others to stay in condition offseason.
When I lived in Dallas I played at the Irving Athletic Club not too far from Texas Stadium, back in the 80s. I also played at a racquetball club frequented by sportscasters in Richardson.
Open minded fans that are not only well traveled but truly knowledgeable don't negatively generalize about anyone's city. What's the point of it? That is classless and ignorant.

cowboyed said:I am not on a high horse and I am not your pal. Maybe you need to get off your Shetland pony. And the city comments weren't even directed at you. You commented on my post to k19 and I didn't know if you were sarcastic or not. Let's move on shall we?
