2. Arlington was built by Tommy Vandergriff - what do you expect?

8. how many millions have the rangers gotten in subsidies? including those given to a former partial

owner, one gwb?

12. So? While I wish we did have public transportation

it requires a vote. Just like building the stadium(s) have required a vote. The city hasn't voted for public transportation.

And Arlington has started looking at mass transit again, including a deal with Ft Worth for bus pick ups at Park & Ride stations. Also with the Superbowl there are plans for shuttles from the TRE, which will help Mayor Cluck in expanding a bus or light rail (between Ft Worth & Dallas) for Arlington.

7. The rubes in Arlington voted themselves a tax to give to Jerry Jones to build a brand new

billion dollar stadium, but they don't have buses. Go figure.

14. I believe the Ballpark at Arlington is the only MLB stadium w/o nearby transit

I know for fact that Cowboys Stadium is the only NFL stadium without transit service.

I agree. Go Giants!

15. Bet it doesn't have bike racks either

But I've never been so I can't say for sure

[w8liftinglady]

17. no-Fuck the Cowboys.My mom lives across the street from them

They used city funds to finance the new stadium,and used eminent domain to level established neighborhoods.Don't get me started.
