From what I hear, the new stadium deal is already set and demolition of the houses their has already begun, so this thread may really have no point other than to complain and wish but I am probably not alone in this.
First off, thank you Laura Miller for being an idiot of a mayor and letting America's team, leave the Big D, your an idiot, and it looks like you are going to do everything within your power to get the red river shoot out, out as well. Mayoral Re-call Anyone?
Second, Retractable roof. I understand that this was the biggest player in the location of the stadium. aghhhhhh! Football is meant to be played outside, some of Dallas' most memorable games are that way because of the weather, ice bowl, thanksgiving day sleet bowl, mud bowls out in San Fran in the playoffs, etc. etc, if the teams up in the north east play without a roof so can we. Football is meant to be played in the elements, its a game of toughness. A retractable roof takes away this and in my opinion makes the team weaker and unable to adjust to the elements and other hardships as well.
Moving on, had JJ and SJ decided not to go with a retractable roof design, they could have cut 250M off of a 650M dollar project, allowing the stadium to be built in many more locations. Come on Jerry the hole in the roof was a great idea, football is to be played no matter the ELEMENTS! I understand that the roof allows more events to be held there, but come on we already have enough places for concerts and that sort in the AA Arena, Reunion Arena, Convention Center etc. Etc. etc. But even with out a roof, the stadium could host college games, bowl games, HS state games and concerts.
Well, I guess its too late to change anything, although I guess the plans could be changed for the stadium as they have just started clearing the site, and I guess if it is legal, Jerry could go and cancel the contract with Arlington, and then decide to build an no roof stadium (hey I like the idea of a design similar to the hole in the roof Texas stadium, it’s a national icon) wherever he wants, cutting 250M, some of which he could pay back the Arlington Home owners with.
Is it absolutely too late? Anyone else agree or have any thoughts?
