These discussions DO NOT come easy, and I feel Texas-OU having to be moved permenantly to Arlington has to be a given consideration. I've even in the past supported having the Red River Shootout in South Dallas when it became Jerryworld was increasingly a Regional and National Monolith.
But, with the cancellation of the ServPro First Responders Bowl, which was contentious in keeping it alive through the Dallas City Council and the Fair Park Projects that go on and on but never get done, I feel it has to be a Hard Second Look at Cotton Bowl Stadium Future.
The cobras being pungent, Dallas has not had a formal 100 Yard Pro Side play in City since the Early 1970s and the FC Dallas, who was the Dallas Burn, was the last full time tenant and they left in 2004.
And, I doubt anyone wants to get started on property values. And, the most central piece of a Fairground is Safety and Enjoyment. Oklahoma's State Fair has been as bloat as the State being a running joke on itself and they should have seen the writing on the wall when losing Dirt Racing in the City, too.
There is no formal racetracks actively in the City of Dallas, and Dallas being iced out of Major League Baseball has only iced over the Baseball Fans in the City. But, this is not all about History, and I doubt just throwing money at Americans With Disabilities Act retrofits will solve anything here.
