This past Sunday, Irving witnessed a bitter sweet “goodbye” to Texas Stadium. This was the home of the five time Super Bowl winners, the Dallas Cowboys. Known as “America's Team”, they had played here since 1971.
The stadium was imploded at 7:02am on Sunday, April 11. As sad as it was, keeping this building up and running was costing the city around $200,000 dollars. The three highways around the stadium, 114, 183, and Loop 12, known as the “tear drop”, are undergoing major construction and development. This state project will cost around $500 million; therefore, the implosion was more that necessary.
Irving is not entirely sure of what will take the place of the stadium. Ideas thus far are ranging from an indoor snowboarding arena to an exquisite outlet mall to a place to put Irving car dealerships. I will keep you posted.
