The big winners in return of Cowboys training camp? Local strip clubs, of course

When last we visited Rick’s Cabaret in Dallas, its owner was exploiting a loophole that allowed him to feature nude entertainment in the two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. Yes, those were the boom times, when strippers roamed the Texas plains in great herds, and there were lap dances as far as the eye could see.
But then, Texas hit the hard times. The NFL lockout meant no players in town, and even more importantly, no fans to watch them practice. It was lean times for strippers, especially in San Antonio, where the Cowboys training camp is located.
But now the lockout is over, and the semi-nudity is back! The Cowboys open training camp at the Alamodome in San Antonio on Thursday, which means the strippers shouldn’t be far behind.
At Rick’s Cabaret, manager Joshua Brooks, says the Cowboys camp attracts the same demographic of young men which are their prime customers.
“Actually, the Cowboy camp is a lot better for us than most events,” Brooks told 1200 WOAI’s Michael Board. “It last for a lot longer than most events. The NBA Finals will last for three days.”
Brooks says the Cowboys bring dozens of young men with money to spend to San Antonio, and many of them are his customers.
“Staff members, training, anybody who is on the staff, we get lot of people from the Cowboys in here,” he said. ”Lots.”
Brooks says he expects that this will be some of his busiest two weeks of the year.
“Two of the main things that a young male wants…sports and women,” he said. ”We have people happy. People are in a celebratory mood, and the Cowboys are in town.”
