  • The iconic Texas Stadium, former home of the Dallas Cowboys, was "removed" on April 11, 2010. This is a video shot from the news chopper that I have edited and set to music.

    I was out there that day on the side of the highway. So many good memories when you grew up playing high school football playoffs here, watching legendary state hs playoff and championship games on top of all the Super Bowls. Plus growing up in Irving, this stadium always had a place close to home as Irving/Valley Ranch was home to everything Cowboys up to this point.

    As life had it, i was too poor to fly to Dallas and see a Cowboys game as a kid, I followed them since 1970 and never had the chance to see my beloved Cowboys at this Stadium where I would have given anything to have seen my childhood heroes such as Roger Staubach, Charlie Waters, Cliff Harris, DD Lewis, Renfro, Newhouse, Puh, Bob Lilly, Drew Pearson, Robert Newhouse, Walt Garrison, Calvin Hill, Too Tall Jones, Ed Harvey, Randy White, etc and 4-5 years ago I went to the new AT&T Stadium and although it is big, nice, impressive, to it didn't hold the value of the great games and memories of the great NFL rivalries of the 70s and 80s where players were in one team their whole life before they came free agent prostitutes who went with the highest bidder. Seeing this stadium demolished burst my bubble and now that I finally have the means to fly to Dallas every weekend if I wanted to, the team, the players and the stadium don't do it for me any more.... sad to see a great stadium torn down.

    For the first time I watched a live NFL game in my entire life, and what better way to watch my team of my life for more than 40 years 49rs forever, I watched Jerry Rice Jef Garcia TOwens and many stars like Troy and E Smith , it was something fantastic to watch my team for the first time and win with scores from T. O. and stand in the middle of the court in the lone star😁 , the day they demolished the stadium made me very sad even though I'm not a fan of Cowboys, in that stadium lived their great championships THEY WERE THE TRUE COWBOYS WHO PLAYED FOR THE T-SHIRT AND LEAVE EVERYTHING, with that demolition, the whole team left and hoped to return them to look at a super bowl, RIP cowboys and fans who already almost a quarter of the century and they don't watch a conference championship!!! I am so sorry!!! I live 5 minutes from this place that is left as a cemetery.
