According to press reports over 20,000 people showed up yesterday, Saturday, April 10th, to watch Texas Stadium fall down.Most of these folks were probably Texans with fond memories of the place, where among other things The Dallas Cowboys played for thirty eight seasons, where they won many championship games and went on to win five Super Bowls. More important to the men of America, Texas Stadium was the home of the world famous Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

Pam Seal a Dallas cheerleader in 1975,  who watched the stadium's implosion on site, told the Associated Press, "It was much more emotional than I expected. I'm so glad that I had my family out there to hold my hand through it. I didn't think I would be that much of a basket case about it. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend."

As a Washington Redskin fan from the glory days, hearing about and then watching a video of  the implosion of Texas Stadium by 1 plus ton of dynamite -- frankly neither of those moments was a sad moment. More than a few sad moments for Redskin fans happened at that stadium. The implosion of Texas Stadium wasn't a start-uncorking-the-wine-bottle moment. Watching the video of the implosion was interesting, more than interesting -- a whole lot of  ghosts were expelled into the ether -- a fond good bye to those ghosts.
