Living Large – Size Matters at Texas Motor Speedway

by Mike Haag | Posted on Friday, April 1st, 2016
FORT WORTH – There always is plenty of talk of professional sports franchises relocating to other cities and leaving their fan bases and venues behind.

For Texas-based teams in the “Big Four” pro sports – baseball, football, basketball and hockey – there is one particular area in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex where they ALL could relocate … AND bring their venues as well to make their fans still feel right at home.

The stadiums and arenas that house every NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL team in the state can all be relocated and situated in the massive 84-acre infield of Texas Motor Speedway, site of next weekend’s Duck Commander 500 NASCAR doubleheader weekend.

And for good measure, they have ample room to add in the state’s largest college football stadium – Texas A&M’s renovated Kyle Field – and still have plenty of room for tailgating and of course the Guinness World Record-recognized world’s largest TV in “Big Hoss.”

Honestly, it’s no joke, especially today.  Check it out.
