Recently, discussing the impact of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium on the other sports facilities in DFW, the Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage admitted that fans who used to frequent the speedway are perhaps now going to watch football instead.
Gossage has seen a drop-off of casual fans that catapulted NASCAR to a major boon not too long ago. Selling tickets to the massive superspeedway has become more difficult and in no small part to the sports competition in the area.
Gossage didn't hold back when he said, "That giant sucking sound you hear fans is Cowboys Stadium. The Cowboys are sucking up all the money and making things more difficult."
