Dear Jeff Mosier: The Jonas Brothers Do Not Live In Arlington

Candy Evans — Thu, 28 May 2009 17:28:45 +0000

As you know, the new Cowboys Stadium opened the way-cool sliding glass yesterday, which has created a bubble of controversy in Arlington, some folks there upset that Dallas will end up hogging location PR while Arlington, where the place is located, will have to fade into the background like most bedroom cities nestled next to huge major metropolises often do. For example, I love my hometown of East Dundee, Ill. but do I tell people I am from there? No, I say Chicago. I am not usually hyper-critical, but I noticed that Jeff Mosier in the Dallas Morning News this morning criticized the Jonas Brothers’ Web site for placing the new stadium in Dallas. (The boys kick off their June tour at the new stadium June 20, which I hear is sold out or close to.) They should know better, said Jeff, because they live there, too. No Jeff, the Jonas Brothers live in Vaquero, an uber-exclusive gated community in Southlake. But it is in Tarrant County, which he got right (or corrected) on his blog. I’m really not being critical — I make tons of errors because we are mere mortals writing these blogs with no fresh-brained fact-checkers following to clean up our act. But since I am obsessed with real estate, I just had to make a point. Love ya Jeff, mean it.

CNBC Sports Business Reporter Darren Rovell has serious doubts about Jerry’s ability to put butts in his new stadium’s luxury suites:

Since the stadium was designed, a lot has changed. The corporate world is in shambles and corporate hospitality at this point is non-existent. And while the Cowboys say that 273 of the 300 suites are booked, don’t think “America’s Team” won’t go through America’s troubles. Trust me, some of those leases that are signed through 2029 won’t even stand the test of 2009.

Rovell’s advice is to convert some of the boxes into a much larger suite where corporations can by individual tickets instead of paying for an entire box.

Update: Yes, we have a brand new sports blog that is terrific — and here’s the link to it. Hi Evan, Hi Jeff, I was with Deion Sanders tonight!!!

Update 2: That update was from Candy. Sorry for the confusion. Hi Candy. You think Prime Time would give us a tour of his palatial Prosper mansion?

Wonder if Julius chased down coffee here this morning. Kitchen of his Uptown townhome listed for $1.3 million.
