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.
