Texas Christian University uses a Sunday to implode its 80 year old stadium to make way for bigger and better.
Since football is considered a religion by many in Texas, I suppose it could be seen as a sacrificial death with the resurrection to come.
Controlled demolitions are a great spectator sport "when" they are announced in advance.
Notice that the tower attached to the grandstands does not fall into its own footprint. Mishap or planned that way?
