I say it was a remote-controlled holographic missile that really brought it down... a missile controlled and guided by the hated Washington Redskins!
just trying to help those not blessed with intellectual insight.
I will remember you have intellectual insight and drop the /S.
DU and Kos readers are lame at best and intellectually fallow in reality.
Post on.
They could have made tons of money selling off the seats and other items.
Dallas Cowboys! Once and always... America’s Team!
My problem with the /s is that it disrupts the flow. A joke isn’t funny if you have to explain it.
I don’t suppose Jerry was in it at the time...
Crap I remember when it was built...sigh.
I was there, just got home. The crowd was huge and the explosions were pretty darn impressive.
Sad to see the old place go.
Halliburton will stop at nothing!
As a North Texas resident, let me assure you that Jerry Jones stripped nearly EVERYTHING of value from Texas Stadium and sold it at auction. The star at the center of the field, however, is in storage. According to the news story that I heard on one of the local stations was that the star will be displayed at a future Dallas Cowboys museum.
Even though the Cowboys have their $1.3 BILLION Cowboys’ Stadium in Arlington to call home, it was sad to see the old place go. Still miss you, Coach Landry. You, sir, were a good coach and an even better man.
I believe a bigger implosion re: the Cowboys took place in Jan. ‘07 at Seattle...
They started selling and auctioning items from the stadium about a year ago. Players’ lockers, seats, pieces of the artificial turf (one local guy bought the big star that was at mid-field), shower room fixtures, etc. The place had nothing left inside before the implosion.
To be honest I only went to a couple of games there, but found it to have all the problems of outdoor stadiums without the advantages of truly domed stadiums.
It was better to watch the games at home on TV.
LOL, reminds me of the famous quote from the late John McKay, when a reporter asked him his thoughts on his team's execution.
McKay's response, "I'm in favor of it."
LOL!
Those items have already been sold. I saw some video reports from a few weeks ago. They removed all the furnishings, glass, asbestos, etc. in preparation. They also removed the entire first deck of seating, because it was below grade. Everything that was below grade was filled with dirt to be at the outside grade.
Sickening! What a waste of taxpayer money, YES, taxpayer money.
Now POS Jerry Jones has a sweetheart deal of a billion-dollar plus new stadium and the taxpayers have yet another white elephant to implode thirty years from now.
Make no mistake, it’s our money being turned into rubble.
Economic development, indeed. The robber barons live on in luxury while we petty taxpayers “eat cake.”
Didn’t Rosie say fire can’t melt metal?
She restricted her comments to steel. She did not go into details of the eutectic point of various multi-element steel alloys, nor the temperature achievable by various methods of combustion as too estoteric for the kind of general audience one has on the view, but she posted the appropriate links on her website.
