T-Bolts Season Tickets Sell Out and Loop 920 Opens

If you've waited until now to get your Texas Thunderbolts 2007 season tickets, you're out of luck. Season ticket sales have reached the preset limit of 40,000, while the remainder of the 52,500 seat capacity Thunderdome, the world's first completely underground football stadium, which is located beneath The Parks Mall at Arlington, are available for single-game ticket sales and other league required allotments.

Now that the Thunderdome is six years old, Arlington city planners have finally done something about the weekend traffic congestion that has been a continual problem on South Cooper and Matlock Streets. The newly completed tunnel Loop 920, which is 150 feet underground, completely surrounds the Thunderdome and it's two 10-story underground parking structures and offers six new extra exits from which traffic may use to reach the surface. Prior to Loop 920, the only exits from the parking structures were West onto Cooper or East onto Matlock.
