JerryWorld makes good

A smart guy

At what point as JerryWorld paid back what its cost Arlington taxpayers?

It's been open about eight months and its hosted nine Dallas Cowboys games, countless college and high school football games, concerts (a Beatle, a country legend and three famous brothers), a monster truck rally, a soccer game, an MMA fight, an NBA All-Star game and more.

Today, it was announced that the Texas Tech Red Raiders of Lubbock will host the Alabama Crimson Tide to start the 2012 football season at JerryWorld.

All of this and the real reason the thing was every built -- the Super Bowl -- hasn't even been played yet.

Jerry Jones is a genius. Arlington's a lucky sack of shit. And everyone else should feel lucky that we live a half hour from the joint.
