A drive on Texas State Highway 360 through Arlington will give you
a good view of the three grandiose attractions (the two stadiums in which the
Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers play, plus the home of the original Six Flags
amusement park) within the borders of this city of roughly 380,000 people.
However, if you wander closer into the downtown portion of the city, the college scene takes over as the campus of UT-Arlington dominates much of the area. For Ohio State Buckeye sports fans who are thinking this college sounds semi-familiar, it was the UT-Arlington Mustangs who broke the 61-game Buckeyes' Men's Basketball team's 61-game home winning streak against non-conference opponents.
