Default Texas stadium implosion this Sunday

I will be there to give my last respects to the old Cowboy's stadium. Gates open at 2:00 am and implosion is at 7:00 Sunday morning. The the website says no open flames. You can't blow up a stadium without one last tailgate party. WTF? It's 25 bucks per car btw.

Maybe they can cram as many Cowboys fans possible into Texas Stadium right before they implode it.

Do i sense a little jealousy? LOL i went to a houston game last fall. It's embarrassing when the Colts bring in more of their fans than the Texans bring to their home stadium.

I call BS.

There aren't even as many Titans fans at the Texans vs. Titans games at Reliant and we know how many nutswinging VY fans there are in Houston.

Now, when the Cubs come to Minute Maid Park...that's a different story. There are a ****-ton of Cubs nutriders residing in Houston and they all show up when they come to town.
