Cowboys Waited Months to Seek Permits: The Dallas Cowboys didn't obtain a permit to install temporary seating at Cowboys Stadium until about three weeks before the Super Bowl, despite being informed of Arlington's requirements five months ahead of the game, according to city records released Friday. City and stadium officials then scrambled to prepare the temporary seating, but about 1,250 of the seats were deemed unsafe and about 400 fans with $800 tickets had nowhere to sit.
This is so fubar it makes me wonder what fuckups we don't know about yet at Cowboys Stadium. Did they ever figure out whether the team was at fault in the practice bubble collapse?

At least he's got professionals in charge of his football team, building a strong, consistent, balanced club that has regularly competes for championships.

I think the first sign of the fuckups would be the punts that hit the hanging scoreboard. That was hilarious.

Kind of similar results as the past several years of the Cowboys organization combined.

This fuck up is already halfway to becoming an Oliver Stone film.
The only good thing you can say about it is at least Jerry's not in the airline business.
