Kennon Cogdell For the good times As Arlington was growing, so was the rest of the Metroplex. Located nearby in Grand Prairie were White Water, The Wax Museum, ln- ternational Wildlife Park and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Along with Ranger baseball, pro football could be found in the Dallas Cowboys whose stadium was in Irving and the Dallas Mavericks, the pro basketball team whose home court was Reunion Arena in Dallas. The Metroplex had its share of military establishments. Carswell Air Force Base, for example, was a Strategic Air Command base in Fort Worth and the Dallas Naval Air Station was located in Grand Prairie. Dallas hosted the State Fair of Texas while Fort Worth had its annual Fat Stock Show. The Dallas! Fort Worth Airport, one of the largest airports in the world, was opened in the '70s. lt was built less than 10 miles from downtown Arlington and made the city accessible to the whole world. Culture found its place in the Metroplex through institutions like the Kimball Art Museum, Amon Carter Museum of Western Art, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History and the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts. By 1990, the population of Arlington is expected to be more than 250,000. So whatever happened to the open prairies and herds of cattle?
