because you all claim them when you count how many sports teams you all have. I have heard you gloat about y'all having teams in all major sports, you disclaiming them now? Are you ready to admit you all have teams in 3 major areas now??

I meant as a metro area. Yes, Dallas only has 4 sports teams. As a metro we have 5.

Can we get back on topic please? I think there should a high-speed train between Dallas and Ft. Worth. That way Arlington would be inbetween and get PT to the larger cities.

Arlington is big enough to have a system withing the city itself.

I am for one who think a city should work on its own PT first before it hits the burbs. whats the point in having a connection to rail if you have to drive to it anyway

You forgot about FC Dallas. The Rangers do belong to Arlington. You must don't know anything about the Rangers. Tom Vandergriff (the former mayor of Arlington) was the one who help bring the Rangers to Arlington from Washington DC.

There is commuter rail between fort worth and dallas. the closest station is about 5 minutes northeast of Arlington in what is technically Fort Worth, but it get's all jumbled up with Arlington, Grand Prairie, Euless, and Irving (maybe even Grapevine)

Suspect the DFW tram outperforms the Trinity Rail line with only 8K riders per day
