They pull in nearly the same number of crowds
State Fairs
Attendance 2,618,500

LSS&R
Attendance 2,506,238

However I do think that LSS&R books more diverse acts

^^^ THIS. What i took from that video... Dallas has parks, museums, sports, skyscrapers, hotels, a convention center, a bridge, and a train. Did i miss anything? What makes that video so spectacular that you would bother writing something as childish as "EAT THIS!!!!!!"? Almost every other city in the US has all of the amenities shown in the video. Just another Dallas fluff video...

Houston.

Better museums
Better medical district
Bigger/better skyline
More money invested in parks
Best shopping in Texas
TWO international airports

need i go on?

The State Fair has never peaked my curiosity. In all 34+ years as a Texan I have never attended.

It squashes all the stereotypes people have about Dallas.

we are not a cowboy city like people want us to be.
It tells people who are not familiar with Dallas thats interested in moving here:
*We have the number one public school in the nation(for people with kids)
*That we have the largest Light rail system in the state and nation(for questions about public transportation)
*That we have the largest urban arts district in the Nation(which is downplayed all the time)
*That we are the #1 destination in the State.
*That we are the #1 business opening spot.
*That we are the fastest growing reigon in the Nation
*That we Have the 4th busiest airport in the world with light rail arriving there this very year
*That Investing into the city is first priority among Dallas people.
*That Dallas' quality of life increases every year.
*That Dallas is far passed the stereotypes its had for the last 4 decades

This is a different place........EAT IT!

Oh and this is a terrible lie.......go read the thread about shopping.

dude, you realize practically all of Texas faces the same stereotypes as poor little ole dallas.. stop acting like the victim. by the same thinking, Houston is a much different place as well, and definitely "BIGGER THAN EVER".. (lol)

maybe your "urban arts district" is downplayed all the time because quality wise, it pales in comparison to real and organic arts districts.. just as your "largest light rail system in the nation" pales in comparison to full fledged rail systems like New Yorks, Washingtons, Chicagos, or Bostons.. that "largest" crap isnt fooling anyone. and if it is, by all means take them in.. better Dallas get the idiots than Houston.

your immature rants and "EAT IT" crap is going to get this thread closed if you keep it up boi..

oh and maybe "best" isnt the best word for shopping, thats obviously an opinion.. i should of said biggest mall in Texas

But not every city has the quality that Dallas Has in everything it does....oh and this is not a fluff video....If anything its an update video to show how Dallas has grown in the Last 5 years. Yeah other cities have stuff like Dallas but not as good as Dallas'. To be honest im really more excited that someone made a spot-on edgy confident video for Dallas, to send off a positive vibe for Dallas....Everybody loves to HATE Dallas..this video just gives people a dose of reality from Dallas' perspective. The video was made to create intrest in the city. To show that we are not a stagnant city like Houstonians want Dallas to be. This video shows that Tall buildings are not top priority in Dallas and we are still functioning and growing like crazy.
