Cowboys break off stadium talks
The Dallas Cowboys issued a surprise statement Tuesday that they were breaking off talks with Dallas County on a new stadium in Dallas' Fair Park, saying the negotiations "simply haven't been fruitful." County Commissioner Mike Cantrell agreed, but said it was because the team, while asking for $425 million in public funds, was less than forthcoming in providing financial data: "They said, 'You don't need your own economic advisers, because we have done all the studies.' And when we ask for them, we don't get them." The Cowboys say they'll now explore other stadium sites, as well as remodeling their present home at Texas Stadium.
