Shame on you for the 12 o'clock fire works...people waited and kids were in bed when you did fire the first cracker.... why couldn't you have post-poned the over time until AFTER the works? Next year.. will you just say forget it? Think about other people besides the CATS!!!
My 2 year old grandson had to go to bed without seeing the fireworks. We finally decided to leave at 11:00. So you actually did the fireworks on 7/5/09. Completely insane!!! Next year I will go to a surrounding city for their fireworks. At least theirs was at a decent time.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with the fireworks after the Cats game. I do not represent the FW Cats. I just listed the fireworks events in the area. :(
Got something to say?
