Cowboys fans to be charged $25 to watch Texas Stadium get blown up

access_timeMarch 17, 2010 personNeil deMause

Ah, middle America. Because Texas is made up entirely of parking lots, the city of Irving is going to be charging $25 per car for spectators to watch Texas Stadium go down in a shower of processed cheese next month. The money will be donated to an undisclosed charity, presumably not related to fighting childhood obesity.
