The Red Bull Arena is going to be incredible. I just wish the Metrostars were playing in the Red Bull Arena.

RE Red Bull Arena:
Well, considering the damn thing is two years behind schedule, millions over budget, etc., the very least the place can do is not be an overpriced sh*thole (you listening, Mr. Steinbrenner?)

RE Cowboys Stadium:
Oh yeah, right, nothing says "modern sports team" like overpriced tickets AND no public transit, meaning residents of the Metroplex may have to take out another loan just to pay for parking. (Yeah, I know it isn't DART or the T's fault, it has to do with "taxes" [read making it more difficult for certain disliked minorities to settle in Arlington, or the appropriately named White Settlement] but still....). Let's put it this way: the CEO of GM should go straight to Jerry Jones and give him ten Hail Maries for Mr. Jones' efforts at compelling impoverished, debt-ridden DFW citizens to buy autos.
