JerryWorld progress

Haven't seen a thread so:

Did that take away a Rangers' parking lot?

 

[capitalcity]

Landry Field will have it's own perimeter parking.

Glorypark will be developed on the southern and western lots currently used by the ballpark.

seems like that is progressing a hell of a lot faster than our endzone project is.

maybe it is because I haven't seen it as much.

 

[tex-horn]

Wow, they are not wasting any time. The field is pretty far below ground level too.

They built that big-assed thing in months and it takes 25 effing years to finish Central Expressway?

Jerryworld or Jonestown? With the extravagant prices Jerry is asking (from $16,000 to $150,000 per seat license) plus up to $340 per ticket and $75 parking per game, it remains to be seen whether there will be any real fans in the lower bowl or 30,000 Bunker Hunt look-alikes. With the potential for the economy to go south, Jerry might have to eat that extra $300 million cost overrun, which he is trying to pass off to season ticket holders. I think a lot of them are telling him to shove it up his *** and if his ego had an *******, you could fit the entire new stadium in it. Oh and another thing, it might help if Tony Romo could win a playoff game and TO would stop crying like a schoolgirl.

Jonestown

The PSL and per game prices released reflect 3% of total the pricing structure. Those trying to characterize Landry Field as the stadium that phases out average Joe-fan are looking for something negative to print.

Lot's of people hate Jerry. Lots of people hate the Cowboys.

In the grand scheme of things he wants to win and is building the the 8th wonder of the world. He's allowed to have the most expensive sports venue in the world, considering it'll be the biggest and best sports venue in the world.

Bring on the haters.

LOL, I saw a news clip on Youtube from '95 and they had barely started on Central. I think it took about 5 years

 

[Third Coast]

Awesome stadium.

To deal with the cost overruns, Landry Field will heretofore be known as Landry's Field.

 

[Third Coast]

Landry Field? Does that mean they plan on using old outdated turf that needs to be replaced in a new stadium?

 

[Owlhorn]

whatever it was, 10 years isn't 25.

only 3% of the stadium capacity will consist of season ticket holders?

Is the stadium field an east/west field? If so, that's f-ing weak.

I think everyone's talking about the fancy part of Central, which was a huge project considering the underground portions of DART were being built at the same time, and the amount of earth that had to be moved to build such a long trench.

The stadium is oriented NE/SW just like Texas Stadium.

What will be the first event in Jerryworld? Will it be a Cowboys game or something else?

 

[RP McMurphy]

Those pictures are at least 6 weeks old. One side of the second arch has reached the mid-point and the other side has reached the edge of the stadium.

The best thing about that place is when the Cotton Bowl becomes the 5th BCS Bowl it will take the place of the Fiesta Bowl as the automatic tie-in to the BIG XII.
