The 4,000 seat Dallas Sportatorium made its debut as a wrestling arena, but beginning in the 1940s, it was home to the Big D Jamboree, a music show in the spirit of the Grand Old Opry. Watch this segment from Nowhere But Texas 2, first broadcast tonight on KERA Television,  to see the impact the music and the venue had on Dallas.
