That revenue now goes to defraying Arlington’s $155 million debt on its share of the cost of the NFL Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium, which opened in 2009.The vote also allows a 10 percent admission tax and a $3 parking tax for the Rangers’ use, the same deal reached for the Cowboys.Although the Rangers hadn’t publicly threatened to leave, a team representative held preliminary talks with Dallas officials about a covered stadium there.
