Arlington is Fort Worth.

Fort Worth has transit, Arlington doesn't. Fort Worth has a skyline, Arlington doesn't. Fort Worth isn't a bedroom community, Arlington is. So no, Fort Worth isn't Arlington.

It is a bordering suburb in the same county and would want to be considered the Fort Worth Cowboys after Dallas had it as the Dallas Cowboys when they were in bordering Irving in Dallas County.

Seriously, this is an idiotic argument. The Dallas Cowboys will remain the Dallas Cowboys whether the people in Tarrant County like it or not. You don't fix the product if it doesn't need to be fixed.

Statistically, Arlington is considered a suburb of Dallas.

Which is why the census divides the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA into the Dallas-Irving-Plano PMSA and Fort Worth-Arlington PMSA?

First off, I have to say about how annoyed I was when the Cowboys decided to move to Arlington. I wanted them to move to Dallas somewhere.

Arlington is not a suburb of both Dallas and Fort Worth; it's only a suburb of Fort Worth. The city is located entirely in Tarrant County.

So, it would be more accurate for the Cowboys to be called the Fort Worth Cowboys from now on, but it's not gonna happen. I would personally hate if that happened -- the Dallas Cowboys is a legendary name.

However, I am ticked that Jerry Jones decided to build the new stadium in Arlington.

shame on you. The Census NOW uses the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington CSA. You're using old nomenclature and you're letting your inner-Houston hateration shine through
