Like others have said, too many to count in the 80s I saw every cowboys/Commanders game at RFK....I got a job as a Coke vendor at RFK. It was 100‰ commission based so you didn't have to work the games but would get in for free. I would work nonstop cowboy games and would make $100-$150 a game.

When the skins moved to, MD. I went to the Cowboys games moist years. When I moved to Charlotte 15 years ago I went to every Dallas/panthers game in Charlotte. I've only been to one game in Dallas. When we played Seattle in 2015 Matt Cassel was the QB and we lost.

Only one. The 90 season opener against the Chargers. That was Emmitt Smith's first game as a Cowboy although he only got a few carries. Pleasantly surprised by the win following the 1-15 season. Sat in the sun in the endzone at Texas Stadium and lost about 20 pounds in water weight that day.

Been to three so far.

2013 Denver @ Dallas. First ever live Cowboys and NFL game, my now ex and I went on vacation for our one year anniversary, and it was heck of a good game, just a back and forth pounding. Dallas lost by a FG at the end.

2015 New England @ Dallas. While it was still exciting going again to a live game, the Pats pounded the Boys bad.

2016 Dallas @ Minnesota. First time I have been to a Cowboys away game, went up with a friend because Minny is half day drive from home, despite it being a slow low score game the Boys won.

Plan to go when they play the Chiefs in KC and want to go back to DFW again in then next couple of years, live games cant compare to watching them on tv.

I have to chime in here and brag - I mention this every year, but the Cowboys are undefeated in games that I’ve seen them play in person :) 13-0 on total now. Last year I saw them in week 2 against the Giants, this year I have tickets to the Dolphins game.

Notably games I saw them in person:

The 1996 Tommy Hutton fumbled snap game against the Eagles (this was my first game)

The game where the Cowboys came back to win in Philly when Roy Williams returned a pick-6 against McNabb.

Parcells’ first game against the Eagles as Cowboys’ head coach, where Randall Williams returned an onside kick attempt for a TD.

None of the other 10 were big games, have seen them beat the Giants multiple times, the Saints, the Bucs, and Dolphins in Miami.

If we get a home playoff game this year, I am 100% attending. I need to push them over the top to the NFC Championship Game :)

Let's see all of the Boys against the niners ( brother played there), games in SF and Texas to see who represent the NFC in the SB back in the early 90's.
The Boys last 3 visits to NC, 1st 2 when the Tuna was coaching.
My brother's 2 SB victories with the niners against Denver and SD.
Then my co worker who was a Bears fan paid for my plane and hotel lodging round trip to (Chicago), to see them play the Panthers in the PO in the early 2000's and Steve Smith killed them.

I wanted to ask you guys...what are the list of Cowboys games you have seen in person? Here is my list:

2002 Cowboys @ Rams...Dallas Beats the Rams on a last second Billy Cundiff FG. Rams were the defending NFC Champs and Kurt Warner got hurt that game
2002 Cowboys @ Colts....Peyton and Marvin killed Dallas that day and won by a lot.
2004 Cowboys @ Bengals....Carson Palmer beat Dallas pretty bad. I think this game ended their playoff chances
2006 Cowboys @ Titans...The Albert Haynesworth game and Vince Young's first start. Dallas destroyed the Titans
2006 Texans @ Cowboys....first Texas Stadium game. That place was awesome. Dallas was down at the half and Parcells put Romo in and won like 34-6. He threw his first TD pass. I think TO caught 3TD passes
2012 Cowboys @ Bengals.....Romo led a 4th quarter comeback and Dan Bailey kicked a GW FG. The Josh Brent incident happened two days before. It was an emotional win that kept Dallas in the playoff hunt
2018 Cowboys @ Colts...just awful. Dallas didn't show up. According to Zeke they were "too full of themselves". Didn't matter in the grand scheme of things but sucks I was there. Proposed to my girlfriend the night before so that was a W

I think they play in Cincy in 2020 and Tennessee in 2022. Goal is to go to Dallas sometime in 2023 or 2024. Here are some other cool non-cowboys games I've seen in person:
2001 Patriots @ Colts...first Brady/Manning game
2004 Packers @ Colts...Favre vs. Manning. It was like a Madden Game
2010 Jets @ Colts...AFC Championship game
2015 Broncos @ Colts...Colts upset the Broncos in Manning's return to Indy. Denver won the Super Bowl that year.
2017 49ers @ Colts....Colts retired Manning's jersey before the game. I got to meet him at his statue. A really cool guy.
just a few memorable ones
@Commanders Aikman to Rocket TD in overtime.
@Commanders the Fumble caused by Darrel Green cast, lost a meaningless game
@Commanders opening day Romo storms back to have a last second 4th quarter TD call back by the RT holding call
@Dallas Dallas beats the Skins, Color rush Game, 2017.
@baltimore, the Boys ran the ball down their throat, but lost because to open the second half allowed a kickoff return TD.
@Commanders Last game ever at RFK, I think that was against Dallas.

Cowboys lions 04 - cowboys won was surprised at the condition of Texas stadium as I walked in. Old ladies called security on is for being to loud. Spent the rest of the game using butt program as megaphone pointed at their domes.

Cowboys skids 05 - Ermahgerd the hottest night I have ever experienced in my life. The final possibly 2 Santana Moss td(s) were on ‘my’ end of the field. Gross

Cowboys giants 06 - Bledsoe’s final int was right in front of me.

Cowboys eagles 07 - sproles lays down at the one same end zone as Bledsoe’s sorry interception. Cold. Eagle fans turned the bar at the embassy suites we stayed at into paddy’s pub. Disgusting.old cowboy fan man tried fighting me cuz I wouldn’t sit down and shut up.

Cowboys Seahawks 08 - thanksgiving. Me and the little lady had a great time. And the most awkward after game thanksgiving dinner with the tour group we went with.

Cowboys giants 09 - ????? Drunk.

Cowboys eagles 09 - wildcard. Drove out to Dallas after work on Friday. Hung out miserably in the cold shadow of the stadium. Best in game environment I ever been at. Cowboys win. Still remember mcflabb strumming his air guitar on the big screen as he waddled out the tunnel.

Cowboys jaguars 10 - funeral. Perfect game to take my mother to. Yikes. had a good time at Humperdinck’s the night before. Our waitress was foxy cleopatra. Loved her, but was also pretty sloshed.

Cowboys skids 14 - was invited out with my uncle had a time great drinking and cheering the cowboys on. Beers were so damn spensive.

I've only seen two games in person, one a preseason game (it was against the Raiders and I'm pretty sure it was Irvin's first year) and Thanksgiving vs. the Bucs.

Cowboys Giants twice in New York Jimmy Johnson. Phil Simms made a late fourth-quarter ruined to almost come back . Cowboys New England. In New England Tony Romo missed Miles Austin's at the end of the game when Sean intercepted the ball late in the fourth quarter. I will see Cowboys New England again this season. And then next year I will go to Big D. Everybody has to go at least to one live game I've been to many other life games. But this is the Cowboys list. Best live game I ever watched was Patriots Raiders.

I was at that 2015 game. Sean Lee intercepted Brady late in the fourth quarter. If we didn't miss Miles Austin over the middle. We might win that game. I don't think it was a a Patriots blow up. I remember screaming Sean Lee the stadium was silent everybody turned and looked at me.

First one was MNF in Cleveland in 1979, not a good night for our Cowboys. Also saw the last win in Texas Stadium (beat the Giants), the Triplets ROH night (also known as Santana Moss ruining the party in the 4th quarter), the day TO posed on the Star and created a melee' as a 49er, Clint Stoerner beating the Cardinals (with an assist from Dexter Coakley), winning in Miami when Jimmy was coaching the Dolphins, two beatdowns of the Steelers in Pittsburgh, losing to Peyton Manning's Colts in Indy, losing to Vince Young's Titans in Jerryworld, Dan Bailey kicking 6 field goals to beat the Skins 18-16 in Jerryworld, and a few others.

Not bad for a Cowboys fan in Ohio.

Begun attending games at the Cotton Bowl in 60’s. My last game there was Thanksgiving 1969, the last tie in Cowboys history.

My father was a season ticket holder from 1971-1988. I was a season ticket holder from 1989- 2007.

Was part of the inaugural Cowboys Travel Club in 1989 attending road games with the team.

I’d estimate including playoff , championship games and Super Bowls 300+ games.

Like many others here, I've been to several... mostly when they travel to Florida.

But my very first game I saw the Cowboys play live was a preseason game in 1986 in London England in Wembley Stadium - https://www.si.com/vault/1986/08/11...cowboys-in-londons-jam-packed-wembley-stadium
