A Visit to Cowboys Stadium

For Father's Day this year

my amazing wife gave me something

that I really, really wanted:

a tour of the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

But she did not just give me a tour of the stadium.

She got me the VIP tour!

At the entrance is the statue of Coach Tom Landry

that use to be at Texas Stadium.

Here I am with Coach Landry.

Here are the three of us:

Me, Missy and Janie,

and of course Coach Landry.

Do you ever wonder about the turf that goes on the field?

It comes out in rolls.

Very LARGE rolls.

Here I am (along with Janie, my son-in-law Rusty and

one of my grandsons)

at the table in the press room.

I can still hear Tony Romo now:

"It is what it is."

Here is a view of the end zone from

the sixth level (I think).

This is the helmet from the end zone. (See previous picture).

Me at the helmet in the end zone.

I am down on the field at the NFL emblem.

The field was available to just wander around on.

Looking at the end zone gave me new respect for a player who

catches the ball on the (for example) the five yard line

and runs it back for a touchdown.

Think Dez Bryant and his 93 yard td last year.

That is a lot of running.

That is some serious football playing

In my next post we will look at some more of the stadium.
