Now This is More Like It? Irving Mayor to Shut Down Texas Stadium.

Guess the City of Irving didn't think much of the Dallas Cowboys' adios to Texas Stadium. Because, according to this notice sent by a Friend of Unfair Park, Irving's reserved the joint for yet another farewell: Mayor Herb Gears's State of the City Address, which'll take place January 15. And your opportunity to roam the artificial turf one last time won't be cheap, neither: Tickets run $100 a pop, and tables for 10 are going for $1,250. It's brought to you courtesy TXU, which knows a good light bill when it sees one. --Robert Wilonsky
