Texas Stadium will fall on 11 April, according to reports.
After prolonged conjecture about the big-name sponsor behind its imminent implosion, Irving City officials have confirmed that the Texas Stadium implosion has been scheduled for 11 April.
The implosion date was announced at an Irving City Council work session Wednesday. It was the first time the council and the public got a glimpse of when – and how – the city plans to demolish the stadium with its famous hole in the roof.
Jim Redyke, president of Dykon Explosive Demolition Group, said crews have started cutting and digging holes for the thousands of pieces of dynamite that will be used in the implosion.
He said the building won’t fall all at once. Instead, Redyke said, the blasts will be timed to bring the stadium down in a sequence of collapsing pieces, which will take a minute to fall.
