Full Version: Dallas fans are foolish
Anyone catch the MNF game where the 100,000 plus fans were screaming so loud when their own team had the ball near the goal line helping cause a false start on the Cowboys? They had to settle for a field goal after the infraction. Lol. Maybe they should put a big message up on the 180 foot screen reminding the home crowd to SHSSSS! when our team has the ball.
Editor's Note:
You did not need to include the subtitle "in their 100,000 seat stadium". The main heading says it all.

Every positive word anyone on TV has said about that stadium... is COMPLETELY true.
It is magnificent. The ends of the stadium are basically glass so it has a very open feel to it, even when the roof is closed. The glass on the inside on the walls helps reflect light, which gives it a nice touch. There are seats everywhere, and plenty of open areas to just stand and relax (unless you went to the Giants game, which the "Party-Pass" tickets were way oversold to break the American Record for Attendance.)
And that doesn't mention the elephant in the room... the MASSIVE screen. Guys, 60 yards across and 20 or 30 yards tall...its HUGE. The game I went to (Kirk Herbstreet's Classic with high school games there -- my alma matter played in the first HS game played in the stadium so I went to see what it was all about), we sat in the lower seats on the 20 yard line, and the stadium was directly in my view still, even while watching the field. It is REALLY hard to keep your eyes on the field with that big of a screen right there. The screen is also HD too, and has the clarity of any 50 inch 1080p TV you may have in your home. Over 2,000,000 lightbulbs on that thing.
Now... I'm not a Cowboy fan, and being a Packer fan living in Arlington I know that they are for the most part a bunch of homeristic idiots, but that stadium is something to behold.
The one negative is the prices of everything. General Parking is $40.00, $9-11 for beers, $8.50 for nachos, etc. If you're in one of the executive suites, a 12 inch diameter pizza costs $92 and a 6 pack of imported beers costs $67. Which is obviously ridiculous.

I don't think it's a pizza, actually - I think it's a crop circle.

That is not uncommon for suites at all. The beer price is actually average with other NFL / NBA suites. I remember getting billed the same for Miller Light in a suite once
