THUMBS DOWN NO”SATISFACTION” AT COTTON BOWL

|

THUMBS DOWN to JOHN TIDWELL, executive

general manager of Fair Park, and the whole Fair Park management team for dropping the ball on crowd control at the Cotton Bowl during the Rolling Stones concerts in November. Disaster was avoided only by good luck. Had a fire broken out-or had some drunken joker even yelled “Fire”- people would have been crushed and trampled to death. It’s not enough to pass the buck to the Stones’ promoters. Cotton Bowl management should have foreseen these problems and acted to prevent them.
