Texas Stadium Implosion!

On Sunday, April 11, a huge chunk of Texas history met its demise when Texas Stadium--opened in October 1971--was demolished. Thousands of people drove out to witness the spectacle first hand. Many of them came the night before, spending $50 or more to park and camp out in order to get good spots for the 7am demolition.

Somehow, we HoltArts folk managed to get there just an hour early, park free, and squeeze our way to the front just in time! There was a vibrant array of people in attendance, which made the whole event even more entertaining. What's that, you ask? Footage?

Granted we did just shoot this event for posterity (and funsies), here's what we slammed together that afternoon.
