This thread is amusing.

Might as well divert this to Houston vs Dallas sports.

In MLB action, the TX Rangers have the same record as the Houston Astros at 5-9, but HOU has a winning streak of 4, while the Rangers have a losing streak of 6. Both are last in their division, though the the Astros are likely to climb, with 2 teams ahead at a 6-9 record. While hope is dim for the Rangers, with next team in their division having an 8-8 record.

Best of luck to both franchises.

In MLS action, the Houston Dynamo are tied for 2nd in the conference with a 2-1-1 record, and Dallas FC last with a 0-1-2 record.

In NBA action, I'm rooting for the Spurs, but Mav's likely to win the series, anyways. So Good luck to both TX teams.

On the contrary, Dallas only has 1 stadium in its downtown. The Cotton Bowl is so old it doesn't even count.
The Cotton Bowl just had a 50 million dollar renovation, at least the Cotton Bowl is still open the the crapy Astrodome is closed.

Now this is one hideous stadium "Minute Maid Park". They should have named it the "Big box".
