She knows the game, the players, the plays, the mistakes, and most of all how she would run things better. So for Christmas I bedazzled the bejesus out of a Cowboys shirt and took her for a tour of the new stadium. Can I just say it was AMAZING!!! We got to see the locker rooms, club boxes, and everything in between. Only bummer - the field was not rolled out - which is only 2 inches thick!
Fun Facts:
The screen alone costs five million dollars more than the entire old stadium.
Each of the African Sepia wood lockers cost nine thousand dollars.
Jerry Jones has a private elevator. Here she is in just one of Jerry's private veiwing areas on the 50-yard line.
The electric bill runs about half a million *per month* during football season. Before the Superbowl they will add 20,000 seats and increase the number of HDTV's from 3000 to 4000. My husband informed me there were flat screens above the urinals. I believe it because you could not look around without seeing 5 or 6. This is one of 6 levels you can access with a party pass.
Yes we got to go inside, no I did not take pictures. Really quick way to feel fat and ugly.
This is the path the team takes when entering the stadium for a game. Fork over enough dough and you can be there! The field is over 5 stories underground and it took 1/3 of the construction time just to dig the hole.
Only thing I did not jump for joy over - the Cotton Bowl will be moving away from the Fairgrounds. But here is the trophy in its new home!
As Granny put it - we knew it would be big, we did not know it was so nice! I have decided when I make it to a game I will go all out and get the Club seats. Brian did the party pass but I want to live it up! Club seats have access to areas that resemble night clubs but be prepared to pay 5 for water/soda and 10 for beer or wine.
I can think of about a million other things that the money could have been spent on...
ReplyDeleteOh Jerry...at least they are winning again!
