‘And This is Why I Want to Explode Your Stupid Stadium’

↵↵You no doubt hate the new Cowboys Stadium for all the constant jabbering about the giant video screen in the middle of the field and the cage dancers gyrating for the fans in the stands. But Texas Stadium, the former home of the Cowboys, was just as obnoxious for the annoying hole in the roof that fans claimed was “so God can watch his favorite team play.”↵

↵↵And the crown in middle of the playing field! Why stick a football field on top of an elongated speed bump?↵

↵↵Now’s your chance to exact some revenge on the former home of “America’s Team.” That is, provided you’re 9 to 12 years old and able to turn a phrase. That’s right - the Cowboys are offering the chance to push the button to detonate their former home field to the kid who submits the best 300-word essay.↵

↵↵The essay, sadly, isn’t supposed to be about how intensely the submitter dislikes the Cowboys, so the sons and daughters of the rest of the NFC East might stand less of a chance. Rather, the subject is how the child feels that they’ve made a positive impact in the world. All so they can make a huge impact on the Earth in Irving, Texas.↵

↵↵The essay contest, sponsored by Kraft Foods, is accepting entries until Feb. 5. The winner, along with three family members, will be flown to Irving in the spring to serve as grand marshal during the demolition event. And they press the button that makes a piece of Cowboys history go boom.↵
