Mitch Schnurman, business columnist for the Ft. Worth Star-Telegraph, thinks that the Dallas Cowboys stadium project (prior posts here) is — against all odds and economic sense — is shaping up to be a reasonable deal for the city of Arlington.
I remain skeptical of the true economic benefit of the stadium for Arlington citizens. However, make no doubt about it, the new stadium has reinforced the Cowboys’ position as Texas’ favored professional football team and it’s clear that the Texans remain light years away from challenging the Cowboys in that regard.
