It was the only place I saw Cowboys play home games in my lifetime, and I got to march there in the HS band long, long ago (big stuff when you’re 16).  I have some ‘souvenir’ AstroTurf from the first time they recarpeted the place.

  1. I find the phrase “long, long ago” to exquisitely painful. Surely there is a more gentle way to express the passing of only slightly more than 30 years.

    Could it be that Late Youth is approaching?

  2. :-( How sad! As many times as I’ve driven past that place, not to mention the hours I’ve spent inside it, it’s just sad in a way to see it go kaboom. This is the first time I’ve seen the video. It will be really weird driving in that area again and not seeing it there.
