    Yankess Stadium 1

    Cowboy Stadium 0

    In terms of entertainment and atmosphere .


    Look at tthe diffrences in the crowds and atmosphere in Yankee Stadium (Cotto /Foreman )

    Cowboy Stadium
    Pacquio /Clotty





    More fights should be held @ Yankee stadium ..Just because you have more seats it doesn't mean you can provide a better show !

    It also helps Yankee Stadium that the first fight held at Cowboy was a disgrace to the sport.

    I like Yankee Stadium due to all the history and tradition it has to boxing. Besides, Texas is known for robberies and stupid decisions.

    I'd say 1-1 both seem to be great venues

    Maybe Pac vs Clottey was underwhelming but imagine if the Pac vs Marquez rematch had been at cowboys stadium

    I don't even know why Jerry Jones chose Arlington instead of downtown Dallas. You know, the actual city that the team is named after...

    Theres probably a better atmosphere in many stadiums around the world. But comes down to money and tax issues.

    The stadium is not the issue. Its the people who show up.
    There was never going to be a rabid atmosphere for a fight with clottey.
