Five injured in falling ice from Cowboys Stadium

[TexasDevilDog]

Why would they put everyone in danger and not clear that ice off the roof? I would not be sad if JJ or Arlington got sued.

They said this superbowl is cursed on ABC world news tonite. They showed a bunch of steeler fans stuck in Pittsburgh. Boo freakin' hoo.

Seriously? I don't know of one single fatality. From what I recall, there was one 'serious' accident (a fall) during construction.

Not bad for a massive building of that nature.

All of those hotels rooms are free for the teams also. Pretty much everything is free for the NFL.

someone has to pay for it... Im pretty sure the government doesnt call the hotels and say "everything is for free bitch"... The hotels hosting the players, coaches, owners, news people etc.. wouldnt pay for that shit...

To bad all the ice did not just cave the roof of that waste of space in.

Jerry owns a 49% stake in a bunch of papa johns, one more reason to avoid that pizza.

I wonder just how much he is actually going to profit after all is said and done. On the news last night, they did a story on just how little he has to say right now. He rented the stadium for a $1.00 (yes ONE dollar) to the NFL. He had no choice on the price. The NFL dictates what food can be sold during the superbowl, and they dictate what merchandise the shops sell during the week of the superbowl. They also said he has very little say in what and how they set up in the stadium as well. Basically, its not Jerry's world right now.

Jerry owns a large percentage "Legends", which is the concession company that owns ALL the concessions in the stadium. He gets a nice share of the parking, too. He's getting the tour money, as thousands take a $40 tour of the stadium.

They pointed that out. But they stated that the NFL pretty much owns the stadium and calls the shots during the week prior and up until the end of the superbowl. They are getting a reported 90 percent of all revenue. Thats why they are dictating what is going to be sold and at what price, food as well as merchandise. I dont know about the parking and tours as they were not mentioned. But they did state that any revenue involved with the stadium is going to the NFL but a very small percentage.

I dont know how much of that is true, but it was channel 4 news where I saw it. But who really knows??

I agree. I watched that clip on what Jerry is making & its Bullshit! The NFL runs the show. Hell anything sold goes to the NFL! Jerry is only making money from the sponsers. Nothing from the tickets sold or food or any items sold at the stadium. He is getting the raw end of the deal. Whats bad is the NFL can tell him to go fuck himself. There isnt shit he can do about it.

Poor fucking Jerry, excuse me while I weep for him.
