Cowboys In Arlington

It's that time.

The time that my friends and family know that I hold dear. National Elections.

This is one of many articles I will post about topics on local and national elections.

I live in Arlington, Texas. One of our big ballot issues this year is the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. For several months the Dallas Cowboys have worked to entice local cities in the d-f dub into a partnership to build a new stadium. (For whatever reason they are ready to get out of Irving)

Talks with the city of Dallas were abruptly halted. Talks with Dallas

It was annouced they were in talks with the City of Arlington.
Talks with Arlington

The county put in their two cents worth: Tarrant County Ups the Ante

The Nay Sayers: What's Bad about Cowboys Stadium?

In just a few weeks they had a deal. Cowboys and Arlington Strike Deal

The people voiced their Opinions: From the People

The details (according to one source): Arlington Stadium Details

My view: I havent' decided if I'm voting for or against the resolution.

My concerns:

What is Irving going to do with a big empty ass stadium?
What will Arlington do with a big empty ass stadium when the Cowboys decide to leave?
What sacrifices did the City of Irving make to keep the Cowboys there for the years?
Irvings Sacrifices
What sacrifices will the City of Arlington have to make to keep the Cowboys?
Arlington's Sacrifices

This will be one of the key ballot issues that is sure to drive voters to the polls this fall...

AND I LOVE IT!!!!
