The Great State of DFW
Forget Rhode Island and Connecticut, the DFW metroplex boasts a whopping 9,286 square miles of land. That's basically its own state, with room to spare for tumbleweeds, rodeos, and maybe a whole lot of Whataburger franchises.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
More Land Than You Can Shake a Stetson At
Here's the kicker: that's just the landmass, folks. Nearly 9,000 square miles are solid ground, which is bigger than six whole states – Massachusetts, Hawaii, New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island (RIP tiny states). So if you're ever feeling claustrophobic in DFW, well, you might be lost in the vast emptiness.

But Wait, There's More (Because Texas)!
Don't be fooled by all the wide-open spaces. The DFW metroplex is also home to over 8 million people. That's a whole lotta folks crammed into a surprisingly large area. Let's just say there's enough space for everyone to find their own little slice of Texas dreamin', even if that dream involves social distancing from your neighbor's oversized truck.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
