DALLAS (AP) - An 11-year-old Dallas-area boy will trigger the implosion of Texas Stadium.
Casey Rogers, a sixth-grader from Terrell, got the honor by winning a Kraft Foods essay contest for kids who have made a difference in their communities. The implosion is scheduled for April 11.
Rogers, a former foster child who was adopted when he was 1, founded the charity Casey's Heart to help the homeless in downtown Dallas. The charity is a ministry of a Garland church where his father is senior pastor.
The longtime Dallas Cowboys fan tells The Dallas Morning News he remembers playing at Texas Stadium as a 6-year-old on a flag football team.
Terrell is about 30 miles east of Dallas.
