In fact, let me just say it for you: Houston does everything in every possible way better than Dallas. If Dallas has ever done anything good, Houston has done it bigger and better. Dallas would be lucky if it were closer to Houston so it could be annexed into its greatness.

There. I just saved you the effort of making your next 300 posts.
Arlington could've had rail. It chose not to.

Arlington could've revitalized what little downtown it has. It has chosen not to.

Cowboys Stadium could've been in Dallas or at least stayed in Dallas County. They chose not to.

I'm sure the tax payers of Arlington are regretting ever letting Cowboys Stadium aka Jerry World, the Death Star, what ever you wanna call it be built on their home turf.

The NFL needs to give those 400, who didn't have seats, tickets to the next Super Bowl. The least they can do.

While not naming the 5 cities specifically, I think you can pretty well guess where they are...San Diego, Phoenix, Houston, New Orleans, & Miami. The NFL should just rotate between those cities. Houston has an advantage because of its far south, centralized location on the map with easy access from all regions of the country.

Winter weather in South Texas is much less likely than in North Texas. It cuts the odds in half, literally.

Dallas & North Texas fubared on this one...big time.
DUDE, it's over! Stop saying the same thing over and over. It's not our fault that we had bad weather. The storm we had was the worst in years.

Where could we have put Cowboys Stadium? If it was in Fair Park it would not have enough space for the stadium and parking. It couldn't be in Downtown. I can't think of a place where it could fit.

You're pathetic.
But the thing is is that it is not Houston HOMERS coming in here trying to put Dallas down! Metro Matt doesn't like Dallas we all know this so just ignore it! Hell last time I checked Dallas is in Texas and if you are a true TEXAN then you want all of Texas to do well whether it is Dallas, Houston ect

Easy

Las Colinas

It would've been the ideal location if Downtown Dallas was out of the question. At least its still in Dallas County.

Cowboys Stadium would have easily fit in Fair Park or its original intended location in the Cedars. Houston, you beat us a the Super Bowl. Not much else to say.

It couldn't. Cowboys Stadium is 3 million sq ft. Heck, the Cotton Bowl is nowhere near that size and it takes up alot of space. There also wouldn't be enough parking.

Who cares what county it is in?!? Only YOU care about that. Why would he want to keep the stadium in Irving?
