congrats bro, I just bought 2 tickets for cowboys and eagles mnf.... i already had 2 but i'm going to sell those to a couple of friends and keep these new way better seats we got. I'm pumped.... BTW, they're on the visitor's side, does that make a difference ?

I have sat on both an no real differance. I do enjoy sitting on the visitors side because I can see what is going on our sidelines a lot better.

Well it happened because My mom said she did not want to have to do all the work while the rest of us sat around watching the game. She wanted to see it too so we went and have been attending every year since. Have seen some of the greatest games in Cowboys history and I have seen some of the worst butt whopping as well

It is still mainly Cowboy fans with a spinkle of the other teams fans here and there and really as far as that goes there is no differance between visitors side and Home team side. I enjoy being on the visitors side because I can get a clear view of the coach on the sideline without being blocked out by our own players standing around him

I have sat on both sides many times... you get the sun on the visitors side depending on weather and game time...

As far as one being better or the other... I would say either is fine...

Yea, that 89 fiasco made for some real dry bird!!

One of the only times I've ever moved into worse seats so i COULD be in the sun while I sat w/ my feet on the seats in front of me and read the paper.

Come to think of it, I did a LOT of reading at games THAT year!! :p

That was a hard one to deal with. Funny thing though I have never left a Cowboys game until the clock show 00:00. It does not matter if we are blowing the other team out or we are getting blown out, I stay until it is over. Same with viewing on TV no matter what I can't bring myself to change the channle or walk out on the Cowboys.

in case anyone didn't know, MNF tickets went on sale today at 10:00, still some very nice seats left, but no pairs left, just nothing but solo.... better than nothing though. :D

I usually don't either, but last year's Thanksgiving game, I did....my head felt like someone had a screwdriver and hammer to it. I couldn't take it anymore, so I left at the beginning of the 4th quarter.

Yea, I rarely leave early, but I DO mosey up to the Stadium Club quite often around 1/2-time.

$10 is a paltry sum to pay to sit up there and enjoy something other than wrinkled, over-cooked hotdogs and luke warm beer.

I'm from Kansas City, taking 2 weeks of vacation in November. Had the wife up at 10 am yesterday going on ticketmaster since I was at work. Got tickets for both the Monday night game against the Iggles, and the Thanksgiving day game. She was getting pretty stressed out because she kept getting messages telling here there weren't tickets left (in pairs). But, bless her heart, she kept trying and wouldn't you know it after about 20 minutes she got them both. So, being from out of town, what's the best way to handle the parking situation? I know there's a lot of places you can go across the highway for a few bucks, but I'm not sure how to get to those exactly, or what is the best spot.

The only Cowboys games I've been to were on a few Thanksgivings while visiting relatives in Big D. Good times, even if the team was bad back then.

Anyone remember the Bounty Bowl? :p I still hate Buddy Ryan and don't wanna hear how he taught Jeff Fisher :p

yes... but we won 3 SB's shortly thereafter... Ryan resorted to punching the hearing impaired in the ear... what a guy...

I hate Ryan as well but it pains me to say I do think he was a very good Defensive Coordinator. Watching his units when he was with the Bears and then later in Philly I would be lying if I said he sucked as a DC. Now as a Head Coach I did think he was very poor because he really paid no attention to the offense and pitted the 2 units aginst one another. I think any good HC knows how to deal with all aspects of the game. Back when Landry was with us it was common to see him working with whatever unit needed the most attention, when the defense would stuggle Tom was hands on and same for his offense. Buddy was great at defense but nothing more. Fisher on the other hand I have a lot of respect for the job he has done in Hou/Tenn.
