After almost 40 years as home of the Dallas Cowboys, high school playoff games and countless other events, Texas Stadium is no more.

Thousands of people witnessed the 60-second implosion Sunday morning as Dykon Explosive Demolition leveled the football stadium, the home field of Cowboys legends such as Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman and coach Tom Landry.

The Dallas Cowboys moved from Texas Stadium, built in 1971, to their new $1.3 billion Cowboys Stadium in Arlington last August.

Plans for the 78-acre site are up in the air, but some college students had suggestions. Graduate-level teams from six Texas colleges shared redevelopment ideas at the fifth annual Texas Shoot-Out Real Estate Challenge last week.

Safety and educational quality are among the reasons why 65 percent of Americans would rather own a home than rent one, according to Fannie Mae's national housing survey.

Of those Americans, 43 percent state that safety is a primary reason to buy, and 33 percent say they think schools are better in neighborhoods where most homes are owned by their residents.

However, buyers and renters are more cautious in today’s economic climate than in the past, according to the survey, with 23 percent of renters reporting that they will buy a home but later than they once thought.

A full 70 percent of respondents believe buying a home is one of the safest investments available, but 60 percent think that it will be more difficult for them to secure a mortgage than it was for their parents.
