As part of the 2006 Bond money that was voted on May 13, 2006, Firestation #2 is getting a face lift. Actually, an actual facelift cost more than tearing down the old building and rebuilding something new, so that's what is going to happen.

The demolition is going to start this month and the rebuilding will being in March. It is supposed to be complete by January 2009. Many changes are taking place. It will become a co-ed facility as it currently does not have seperate sections for men and women.

It will also become a Green facility which is LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The landscaping will be not take much water to maintain and they'll also store up rain water.

The old facility was a 1 story building with only 5000 sqft. The new facility will be 2 stories and 9000 sqft.

This is a much needed update to the area!

Cotton Bowl headed for New Cowboys stadium

It has just been made official: The Cotton Bowl is headed for the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Cotton Bowl Classic has been played in the Cotton Bowl stadium since its inception in 1937 and soon will use the new facility on New Year's Day 2010. This brings good news for Jerry Jones - the owner of NFL Dallas Cowboys. The Cotton Bowl officials intend to pursue the Cotton Bowl as another BCS Bowl Series which are currently determined through the 2010 season.

The Cotton Bowl facility has been deteriorating and with the unpredictable weather conditions in North Texas, this facility has not been a good contender as a choice of the BCS Bowl Series. However, the new Cowboys stadium is constructed with a retractable roof. Hence, this solves the weather issue in January where it could be relatively sunny or icing in North Texas.

In the past, the Cotton Bowl had faced its controversy about the expensive $50 million in renovations to include upgrade seats, concession stands, scoreboards and restrooms. When completed, this stadium should seat over 92,000 seats. No plans can be made until the OU Sooners -Texas Longhorns Red River Rivalry makes the decision of extending the contract. They finally did to at least 2015.

With the Cotton Bowl headed for the new facility and now becoming a BCS Bowl Series contender, it is poised to bring good fortune to the Dallas, Arlington and surrounding areas.
