. (The Metal Den) TMD has learned that the legendary Fort Worth, Texas venue Ridglea Theater where late great Pantera/Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell played his final hometown date while in Damageplan has been bought by Dallas area businessman Jerry Shults.

Shults is going to restore the Ridglea to its original glory, with everything to be totally renovated all throughout the popular landmark. It truly is a historic theater and they just don't make buildings like this anymore.

"It's the best Christmas present I could've got for myself," Jerry Shults said jokingly, when recently interviewed by DFW.com. He's talking about finally taking ownership of the Ridglea Theater, after stepping in to purchase the building in October after Bank of America backed out. more on this story
