Margaritaville Cafe ... Is it possible??

ScarlettMacaw · Post by **ScarlettMacaw** » June 26, 2006 8:36 am

The new Dallas Cowboys stadium is slated to open in 2009 in Arlington, TX beside Ameriquest field (Texas Rangers), Six Flags Over Texas and Hurricane Harbor water park. Along with all that, there will be retail shops and restaurants. The whole thing will be absolutely huge and marketed as a tourist destination. My question is this: Does anybody know what the chances are of JB building a M'ville Cafe in this complex or who to contact to suggest the idea? I can't seem to find a contact address for M'ville Holdings. Thanks!

Will the new stadium still have a big stupid looking hole in the roof?

Retractable roof but it's ugly if you ask me. And H*** No!! I am NOT a Cowboys fan. Texas Rangers--yes! Dallas Stars--yes!

now if they only had a retractable owner

I'd use the M'ville Key West address....

But just a first impression...this doesn't strike me as a "Margaritaville"-type location...maybe a Cheeseburger in Paradise...but not M'ville (unless there is other significant expansion of locations and a loosening of the current locations/feel).

AMEN to the "retractable owner" comment Cubbie Bear!

And Quiet and Shy, why a CIP instead of a M'ville ? Thought it'd be ideal in this location. (The whole thing is being touted as "Glorypark") What type of restrictions are we talking about?

M'ville is supposed to be an exotic, beachy kinda thing. Even NO and Mouseville are close to the water. Dallas... it's a drive. Definitely more of a CBiP vibe.

Vegas is really close to the water too.

Margaritavilles are definitely in vacation destinations, as well, I doubt many would go to a football stadium for a vacation....

*gasp* I agree with R/2 !!!

Besides, Nashville doesn't even have a Cheeseburger in Paradise yet so why should Dallas get a M'ville? (insert jealous smiley face here)

I went one for the first time in Cincinnati and I must say, the food is amazing! Utterly delicious. And the drink menu is a BOOK, for heaven's sake !!!!!

Or, the very obvious tourist (escape) destinations. If you took a survey of people from across the US, I don't think Dallas would pop up as an obvious choice along those lines.... No offense, but it's just a different feel and image (from my perspective).

LOL....nope, don't think I'd schedule a vacation to a football stadium especially not this one! Maybe you're right. But there's also Six Flags, Hurricane Harbor Water Park and the Texas Rangers stadium there. Hmmmm....
I'd settle for either one tho' M'ville or CIP. Contact the same people??

Sounds like a neat development, either way. CIP is part of Outback Steakhouse...out of Tampa. Perhaps HockeyParrotHead (CIP manager in Atlanta) could give you an idea on who you could contact....
