ACM Awards Headed to Arlington?

Looks like Cowboys Stadium is a contender to steal away the nationally televised Academy of Country Music Awards show from Las Vegas, where it’s been held for years. WFAA-TV’s report calls the annual show “the biggest night in country music,” which ain’t exactly true. The ACM is an upstart group that was founded in L.A. in the ’60s to promote west-coast country artists like Buck and Merle–a counterbalance to the Nashville-based Country Music Association, which is still the big dog in the C&W world. Even so, nabbing the bash for Arlington would be a major coup.
