I think Reliant Stadium should be considered in the rotation....

I do too but they would have to change the field each day the grass would wear down quickly 3 games a day on it.
[/quote]Thats why the GM Mark Miller said if he could find the money he would by the turf so they could play there..... Which is something I think the Houston Texans could be a part of... Lord knows they make enough to buy the turf

I know many don't like it staying at Cowboys stadium every year because of travel concerns, concession prices, etc, however, after attending the event at Cowboys stadium in 2010 I can't imagine a better place in Texas to host the event...

Having every game played there over a weekend is absolutely awesome for anyone who loves watching HS football at it's highest level...

It is a venue that every player in the state dreams about getting a chance to play in...

That's what I'm being told. I figured they could just play at a HS stadium :D

There were a lot of people in Dallas 2010.  I doubt Dynamo Stadium is big enough.  I am ALL for a move from Dallas.  Hate Jerry Jones and especially hate giving him $40 for 2 burgers and a coke.

I know it'll never work out this way, but I think they need to choose the Alamodome. It's in a centralized location. I understand that Cowboys Stadium is nicer, but it would serve a number of school budgets better to have the championships in one of the state's most centrally-located stadiums, and travel costs are a big issue amidst all these funding cuts.

Unless of course PN-G goes, in which case we're going to need Cowboys Stadium. All of it. ;D

It should stay at COWBOYS Stadium!!!  Kids grow up wanting, wishing and hoping to play where the COWBOYS play.  There's just something about that blue star that says, "Texas Football".  No other venue in Texas can top it.

I agree...

My son would definitely kill to play at Cowboys Stadium. Figuratively speaking.

I'm one of the fortunate parents that got to watch my son play at Cowboy Stadium in 2010 (and daughter cheer) and I can't tell you how excited everyone in our family was...We had family come in from a couple of different states to watch the game...

It was awesome watching him play on that field and seeing him make plays on that huge jumbotron...

It was somewhat surreal knowing that the Super Bowl was going to be played on that same field a few weeks later...

Almost made it back again this year, losing in semi-finals...Had a 7pt lead about halfway thru the 4th qtr only to give up 2 TD's in the last 8 mins...Everyone was really devastated as it was Jerry's World or bust from the first day of practice in early August...

Looking forward to watching my younger boys try to make it there in the future...

It's very simple.  Take 100 kids, middle school to high school in age, and show them a picture of the alamo dome and then a picture of COWBOYS Stadium.  Then ask which one they would rather play in.  You can do the same test with any other venue in Texas and I'm willing to bet the majority of kids would rather play where the COWBOYS play.  Sure, reliant would get a few votes because some texans fans would like to play there, but the texans don't have the following that the COWBOYS have.  The only place that could come close would be D K Royal Memorial Field in Austin.

    • We'll see. I don't trust us. 
    • Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine 
    • Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind? 
    • MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
