    Where are you getting the story?
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Love to see them have the balls to stop playing this shiite in a typical good weather town or in a domed stadium.

    I listened to the live press conference on The Ticket, 1310 AM. The are the official radio station of The Dallas Cowboys.

    The new stadium is on it's way up. They actually have vertical steel in place. The City of Arlington does it right. They have the Rangers Stadium and now will have the Cowboys Stadium less than a mile away. Dallas city council and mayor couldn't stop fighting and making stupid requests of the Cowboys and Jerry Jones to build it in Dallas, so they went to Arlington and it passed in no time. You'd think a city of 1.2 million people would cough up the funds to bring in a money maker and the home of America's team, but instead the 350,000 residents of Arlington made it happen. Doesn't really make sense but I don't live in either place, so I never had an official say.

    I'm with you on that. I would love to see another Superbowl in Green Bay, or Denver, or even the Meadowlands. High school kids do it without getting paid, so should the professionals(yes I understand that the conditions won't be quite as bad but you get the point).

    I think some of us are a bit biased on this opinion, but I agree.

    It will, however, never happen. The Super Bowl is just as much about entertaining rich executives as it is about the game, and rich executives don't want to spend a week with the frozen tundra (no offense to the wonderful town of Green Bay, of course).
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I bet the Irsay family is pissed. They got passed up in '92 and then to get passed up again for the 2011 game, the same year that they would celebrate 40 years of team ownership, they get passed up again.

    I guess Staubach just out talked Dungy(although it would be pretty hard, Dungy is a class act).

    Same thing they'd do in Minneanapolis or Chicago! :D

    Those socialites really need to get out more and be human.

    It doesn't change much, just more traffic. Who the heck can afford the super bowl? I don't even go to regular games. Especially the Arlington Cowboys.:mad:

    I went to almost every Pats game for 3-4 years (coincidentally during their championship streak). Nearly put me in the poor house buying tix and beer and tailgating stuff every couple weeks, but goddamn is a football game a fun time.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
