There are alot of "crap holes" around Dodge that should have been torn down, but we spent money to relish the history.

I wish they had built the events center instead of the race track. I worked at the track one summer, and I still don't see the appeal of a couple hundred left turns.
To each their own I guess...

Now the old historic McCarty Stadium fell for a good cause. To promote the new sport of south of the boarder football.

Another piece of Dodge City's unique history thrown away.

Quote:
THE first and with perhaps one exception the only real bull fight ever held in the United States was staged at Dodge City on the fourth and fifth of July, 1884. It was a genuine Spanish importation, via Mexico, featuring expert Mexican bull fighters and actual swording of the bulls. In defiance of the nation-wide protest which arose against this "barbarous celebration of our national holiday" the Cowboy Capital, as was its habit in those days, presented the spectacle as advertised and thumbed its nose at the clamor.
