Adios Texas Stadium

We went out to the Texas Stadium implosion this morning at 7am. There were tons of people there, many more than I had expected would come. But, it was dubbed the Last Tail Gate Party, so plenty were there to honor the stadium the same way they had over the last 39 years. With the help of some nice guys/photography enthusiasts we met, were scoped out the best place to view and photograph the implosion. We had an outstanding place on the bridge over 183, but apparently we were in the "blast zone" so we were megaphoned away. We re-found a previous spot and set up just in time to watch it tumble down. Just before the implosion there was a short fireworks show, so they had some decent fanfare out there for the event. Here is a series of shots from the 60 seconds worth of implosion-action.
