Thanks for the ping.
7:00am... I might try to be up in time to watch.
Kind of sad.
Bittersweet. I remember chasing Roger Staubach around that stadium years ago after the tribute to Coach Landry ;-) and FINALLY getting his autograph...took my Hindu husband to a Carman Christian concert there years later, it was standing room only, full to the brim with God-praising singing along fans—my husband one of them! Awesome memories. Never saw a football game live there, but watched hundreds of games on tv over the years. Hate to see that open-roof stadium go! :-(
Many years of good memories will go down with it. I remember when the Cowboys were America’s Team.
“...Cost: 35 million (Cowboys Stadium: 1.15 billion)...’
By contrast, the video board that hangs over the field at Cowboys Stadium costs $5 million more that the entire cost of Texas Stadium. Talk about how the cost of doing things have changed.
