Texas Stadium implosion decision now imminent.
As thousands of Dallas Cowboys fans turn their attention to the new $1.15 billion stadium in Arlington, officials in Irving are hoping to send the team’s former home out with a bang. Literally.
The City Council is expected to consider awarding a $5.8 million demolition contract – a contract that came under intense scrutiny for the breadth of bid values received – next week that would allow a Dallas excavation company to implode Texas Stadium. The city has never kept quiet its plans to clear the structure and redevelop the teardrop-shaped site. But don’t expect officials to get too excited about blowing up the most famous building in town.
