We’re smart enough NOT to add public transit to most nice places. That’s precisely what keeps them nice. If you want ride a rail from the airport to either downtown or the hood though, we got you covered.

That's a bunch of pompous bull hockey. You don't have public transit because Dallas never had the foresight to plan & build a rail system as Atlanta did, beginning back in the 1960s.

In order to get from DFW airport to AT&T Stadium, one must either rent a car....get a taxi.....take shuttle bus....obtain chauffeur/limo services....or walk. If you've got it covered, I guess you must be talking about your free supply of umbrellas for your visitors, then; otherwise, I don't know how "Dallas has you covered."

Although Greater Atlanta (10,500 sq. miles) is more spread out than the Dallas & Ft. Worth metro areas combined (8,675 sq. miles), Atlanta has more hotel rooms by nearly 20,000 over DFW, attractions and accommodations, restaurants, shopping, etc., are much more compact and centered in the downtown and surrounding area where the sporting event is held as compared with almost nothing around the immediate area of AT&T Stadium.

I forgot to mention that ATT stadium is one of the few major venues that you can just drive up to and park without having to worry about reserving a spot and it accommodates a college town tailgating atmosphere. Plus it will have another half billion dollars or so in upgrades by the time the MB contract is up.
The TRE rail will likely stop at the Arlington entertainment district by then also.
