Why did Las Vegas Sands buy the land near the old Texas Stadium?

Transcript

This is a downbeat on ninety seven to one, the freak Yeah ooh, more Cowboys stuff. At eight, we will review our Ghost Pepper Pavilion predictions that we had on Friday. Like to replay those see if we need points. Also eight thirty five News Morning News. At nine, we're going to have the iHeart Employee performance review of Danny Bayliss can find out if he deserves all of his hopes and dreams if they deserve to come true based on his

performance on the air this year. That is coming up at nine quickly, before we have fun, I do want to talk about this Las Vegas Sands story real quick. Now. This is the company that bought well it's really a couple of people, but it is an entity that bought the majority stake of the Dallas Mavericks and discussed that a couple weeks ago. Well, it came out out, you know, a few publications over the weekend that they bought one hundred and eight acres of land in Irving right across from the old

Texas Stadium. And this is a few months before you know, the Addilson family made the deal to buy the maps, and it's not really known right now. What they intend to do with that property. The city of Irving very open. They're like, look, we've been trying to feel something here since we blew up Texas Stadium back in twenty ten. I remember watching footage of that, and that was a pretty cool live stream event. The man, we're blowing the holy hell out of Texas Stadium, but by them.

So weird to see all the rats and feral cats storming out of there. Speaking of feral cats in the parking garage this morning, really, yeah, well how many to just running around? Yeah, and I have suspect rabies. I was looking at them. They were acting a little fidgety. I think that was iheart's answer to, uh, rat control. Yeah, hire a couple of feral cats so that they can do You know what, why

didn't we do that? As a fella who grew up in the country and had a thug cat in the backyard, Dude, three or four thug cats roaming the third floor? Rats gone goodbye. So, a spokesman said the purchase is unrelated to the Addison families deal with the MAVs. So a you could go, sure, make the JO signal with your hand and roll your eyes, or you could go be okay, Yeah, why would they build a new casino resort, you know, once it's all legalized, Why would

they do that in Irving? So who knows. I still think Dallas would be the plan. It makes the most sense to do it in that spot because what is it close to everything? The airport, the middle all the airport, dude, that's the prime real estate. Makes more sense than doing it in downtown Dallas. You were hundred percent. You get off the plane and you'll walk to the casino right from the tarmac. There's been a big highway project connecting one to fourteen three and Loop twelve, and that's going to

be completed in twenty twenty five. The city of Irving's got a big plan to develop over four hundred acres and a lot of that is on that Texas Stadium property and they want to make it a mixed juice development plus the housing, retail, and entertainment. Let me ask you a question. This deal that the that Mark Cuban made, the Mavericks made to sell the majority with the hopes that you know, gambling will become legalized in Texas, casinos can

be built. This property buy up by the same company right by the airport. Do you ever wonder maybe they know something that we don't. Well, I was just like almost like an insider trading kind of thing, like they know almost for certain where the wind is blowing. Because this doesn't seem like a smart gamble to just buy up property with the hopes that it will pass.

In Texas, it's almost like they know it's going to pass. And I've been saying for years that the Gaylord Texan is basically a casino without slot machines right now. Yeah, the way that thing is designed when you look down from those hotel rooms onto that center court area, that looks like a Vegas casino to me. It always has. Now that that's been that's been you know, built, that was built years ago. It's been around for a long time. But it would be a very easy flip for them to

turn that into a gaming spot. But do you feel like that that they kind of maybe know more than than everybody else. Yeah, and that's where, Hey, maybe they just want to do something there that's outside of the casino resort thing. Maybe, But you're a point about the airport makes a lot of sense if they wanted to do it in Dallas, and that's what Cubans always wanted. Maybe Cuban's got influence with this family. Maybe they'll listen to him because he's lived here, you know, maybe that's in play.

So it could just be something else. It probably probably is something else, because like, what if the casino resort thing couldn't happen with the Mavericks. So what if they they just for whatever reason, couldn't combine the two. The new arena couldn't be in the casino resort, like if that just happened to be pining the sky dreaming, And maybe it's not, at least for the Mavericks. Is not up until twenty thirty one, and the AAC. I don't mean they have to stay there, but them and the Stars both

have seven or eight more years there at the American Airline Center. Who's to say you couldn't put the casino resort out there and build a new stadium on the plot of land in Dallas, or the casino resort in Dallas and put the MAVs back in the middle of Irving and make it more accessible to the Fort Worth side of town. And it doesn't have to be a combined thing. We've been thinking about it that way, but it doesn't have to be.

Now we know what Cuban wants because he said it so well. Also, I think of this, and I don't know if Jerry, you know how old is Jerry eighty came on? Okay, all right, let's say this does pass Mark Cuban gets his big dream of integrated base or basketball arena casino combo platter. Isn't Jerry gonna look at that and go, hmmm, yeah, what about me? There's no doubt this. I need a piece of this action. Yeah, and Jerry, we know what approved gambling?

Oh of course he would. I mean I thought, I still kind of can't believe there aren't like draft kings kiosks at these games. We can't bet on the game literally, but you kind of you can't go it some action if you've never had it, and then you and then you end up getting in on your appose there are people who don't have that. World is getting ridiculous. The amount of gambling you can do in Texas on any given day is wild. But yeah, I don't know, So I just want to

get that story out there interesting. I don't know if we will not even have any answers on it yet, but they bought all that land where Texas Stadium used to be. Google this morning released their top searches of the year. Danny, I hope they didn't look at my computer. Yeah, we saw a lot of makeup porn.

When you all remember this, I can't remember I brought this. I brought this up at the time, but remember the news came out about Travis Kelsey once they

first started dating. Travis Kelcey buys brand new house in Kansas City for two point six million dollars and to us We're like, that's badass. And then Taylor's like, oh, cute, cute little sucks, cute little apartment you have here, trav eight bathrooms? Eh, your girl needs twelve. I poop a lot. I like to mix it up. Well. Matt Healey too also went on a podcast and said something derogatory towards Ice Spice for no reason at all, and then the collab with her and Taylor Swift right,

yeah, and that was while he was with Taylor, though. Taylor had to get away from Matt because he was bringing in too many bad headlines and as soroy Wants pointed out, she's tired of the dainty boy. How old is he Matt Healey? I bet he's like thirty. Man is not aging? Well, he's thirty four. Here's the story on this guy. This guy has done every drug and drink to bottle of wine a day or two. You don't know this. He has a fifth of vodka before. Man,

It's one of rock's favorite bands. I know the scoop on Maddy Healy. I'm trying to figure out how they like, how did that happen with him too? Because he is just he's gross. He's a worm. He's a worm. He's a squirmy worm. Some of the songs that took off Daddy,

of course you mentioned him. Try that in a small town Richmond, north of Richmond, Unholy Sam Smith and part of that's there the devil you know, came out during the Grammy performance.

Yeah, that'll happen, That'll happen. TV show The Last of Us, Yeah, everyone loved The Last of

Us. Secession Succession didn't make it on there for reasons unknown, although the Weekends Terrible Show at HBO the Idol did. I think because it was so bad that show Beef was up there as well, So I tried. I know Mikey finished it, but I quit. Boy, I made it through like three I just felt like, Okay, every episode is just going to be a variation of the one before. It. I'm done. Yeah, I got the hell out of that. You got the hell out of beef Asians. I got tired of it, and not because of Asians. I

just was like, man, this is clearly not going anywhere. And also it was hard to really accept that what's the girl's name, comedian lady? Yeahs she's famous, Margaret something, Marta rich Shoe, and the fact that JJ agreed with the racist I think that's Michelle Ali Wong. She's dating Bill Hater? Is she really okay? Well? It was that might be a fun relationship. I bet I bet he's sitting in front of them too. I bet he's intense, Yeah, Bill Hater, I bet he gets nervous,

nervous, he has insomnia. Pick up the tew. I guess last story I want to do today. I'm ready. They did not talk, apparently, but Matt Lower was seen out in public again, and that does bring up the hit theme song where in the World is Matt Lower? Which I'm convinced that the Today Show, when they did that bit all through up the late nineties and early two thousands, where in the World is Matter was just him finding hiding spots for when he commits all a bunch of crimes.

He did go to a wedding of a former producer of The Today Show. He was seen along with Samannah Guthrie, you know who got his job when he hit the button to close the office door and lock a poor intern in there. He was there with his with his girlfriend. He's sixty five now and he looked exactly the same, and he still looks like he's up to something. I saw the picture of him. I was like, he looks like he's up to no good. This guy is wild. But did he

look like he was up to no good before the allegations? Yes, you always thought that he looked like he was up to no good. Did you look like you're up to no good? Kevin? I think I'm just gonna add this to my January stash of segment ideas, Kevin, who looks like who looks like they're up to no good? Dude? I have been full on years of proof that we knew what Matt Lower was before Matt Lauer was Matt Lower. I've seen the compilation video. Geez, yeah he was.

I saw you naked a little creeper back when those things were just kind of okay, what's her name is Meredith, I think, And she was like talking about all the sex toys he had in his office jokingly. And then years later you're like, oh she knew, I get it. She wasn't kidding, did she know? So there's a story Cowboys one though. That's a big story, the fact that Matt Lauer came out of his Saddam Hussein hole, the spider hole. Yeah, just down there watching porn like Osama

bin Laden was smashed into the building. Oh no, why would they watch so much porn to in a spider hole? How did they get Like there's like one extension cord going down into the hole. They're like an egregious amount of porn we've uncovered here, Not so much on military secrets, but lots of porn. Porn, porn, porn, porn. I was if you did not know what Osama bin Laden did. He's kind of got a funny face. And then they hanged his ass on some choppy flip phone video.

That's the confirmation that we have that that Tom's dead. What if he didn't do it, Like, what if he had nothing to do with it? He's like, why are you coming for me? Watching plan? I'm porn addict, I do anything. How am I getting accused of this? It's me. You know what I'm doing. I'm cranking. What's next? I have time? Jesus. Back to Cowboys, Yeah, back to Cowboys. We're gonna have a Danny Bayless. iHeart employee Performance Review of the Year twenty
