Back in the early 90's My dad and I went to visit this place.

Saw my first Stadium NFL game there.

You served Texas well friend!

I thought you might have been referring to the Astrodome which is situatated very near to the new one.

Unlike Debbie, I've never done Dallas. Must give it a try some time.

Ten US states are larger than the UK, Texas by almost three times.

The 10 year old kid who got to "press the button" was lucky!

Setting off fireworks won't be the same after that!
