I’ve been to so many thanksgiving games it’s hard to recount. I’ve been to watch them in Carolina and Tennessee but the best is Super Bowl XXVIII in Atlanta. We were pretty nervous at halftime but then we came out and handed to ball to Emmitt like 8 straight times and the rest is history.

CowboysZone DIEHARD Fan
I've been to several Cowboys' games in person. My very first game was in the Houston Astrodome when the boys played the then Houston Oilers on a Monday Night!! They crushed the Oilers that game!! It was awesome!
The last few games I attended at Cowboys' Stadium were all losses!! I was at the P. Manning vs Romo bowl (against Denver), when we had absolutely NO defense!! Romo outplayed P. Manning, but ultimately, could not overcome our lack of defense!! The very last game I've attended was the last game of the season in 2015. We were playing the Commanders in Jan. 2016. Romo was in street clothes on the sideline. He was passing the ball in pre-game warm-ups and appeared to have recovered nicely from his clavicle fracture(s) earlier in the season. I believe he was put on IR after the 2nd break. K. Moore was our starting QB for this game. Needless to say, it was a disaster! We lost to Colt McCoy!! LOL

Been to 3:

September 15, 1997: MNF game against the Eagles. Cowboys score late TD to take the lead. Philly drives the field for a GW FG attempt. They bobble the snap and Cowboys win 21-20.
October 27, 2002: Cowboys lost to Seattle 17-14. Cowboys put on an awesome post game ceremony.
October 16, 2011: Cowboys lost 20-16 in Foxboro against the Patriots. This is where we ran 3 straight times with the lead late in the 4th quarter and Brady led the comeback to beat us.

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.
Lol...I was at both of those games also.

Been to 2 in Dallas.
1996, beat the Patriots 12-6, shootout between Troy and Drew.
2018 beat the Lions last year.

Been to 2 games in San Fran
Tony broken rib game, won in OT
Dak rookie year win

As mentioned above,was at those 2 games. Probably about 8-9 games between Giants and Pats stadiums. Won all of the Gnats games but one, lost all of the Patriots games.

Ive been to a lot, so I cant remember al of them, but I will list a couple of big ones.
1991 wk 15 against the Eagles at the Vet. K Martin returns punt for a TD. It was the game that officially showed we were legit. First NFC title under Jimmy.
1992 against the Raiders at the Colliseum. Not sure if it still is, but it was the most attended game in NFL history ( I think) something like 92k fans at a regular season game.
1992 NFC Title game at Candlestick against 49ers. I think it was in the top 5 of greatest games in NFL history by ESPN
2014 Playoff game (Dez caught it) vs Green Bay. I felt I was robbed out of another all time great game with that catch being nullified
2014 vs Giants..... the game OBJ made the amazing 1 handed catch
2016 playoff game against Pack with Rodgers completing that ridiculous 3rd and 20.

Cowboys have won every game I have ever attended!

1988 versus Commanders in RFK - Landry's last win and rookie Irvin scored three TDs
2002 preseason versus Panthers in Charlotte - Cowboys won with Quincy Carter starting
2005 versus Panthers in Charlotte - Big game from Julius Jones and last minute winning TD pass from Bledsoe to Terry Glenn
2006 versus Panthers in Charlotte - Romo's first start!
2009 versus Falcons at Cowboys Stadium - This play
2012 versus Eagles at Cowboys Stadium - Romo had a 150.5 passer rating and Claiborne even scored a TD

Considering where I live, I’ve not had the chance to see many games live. I’ve seen the Cowboys play the Titans in Nashville, the Bengals in Cincy, the Colts in Indy, and the Packers at Lambeau. I was at the game against the Packers in either 2008 or 2009 (can’t remember for sure). It was a Sunday night game and the first time we ever beat the Packers at Lambeau.

the best is Super Bowl XXVIII in Atlanta. We were pretty nervous at halftime but then we came out and handed to ball to Emmitt like 8 straight times and the rest is history.

There's a great YouTube documentary about this Super Bowl. Emmitt says that at halftime, the Cowboys went into the locker room disgruntled, trailing Buffalo 13-6 and made their mind that they were going to "impose their will" (in Emmitt's words) on the Bills in the second half. Nothing fancy or schmancy, nothing complex or exotic, just flat out smash-mouth football, mano-a-mano, our-strength-versus-yours. Dallas knew it was superior and had the better offensive line and better players, but so far the scoreboard just didn't reflect it. Combine this with the fact that Aikman was still recovering from a severe concussion suffered just a week ago, and it was all going to come down on the shoulders of Emmitt.

James Washington got things jump-started with that fumble recovery touchdown to tie the game 13-13, and then as soon as Dallas got the ball back again, Emmitt went to work. An entire drive consisting of almost nothing but Emmitt carries, culminating in a touchdown. 20-13 Cowboys. Emmitt says that the Bills were shocked and deflated after that drive, with this facial expression of "what just happened????" (again, Emmitt's own words.) Then the Cowboys promptly plowed the Bills over again for another Emmitt touchdown, went up 27-13, and the game was as good as over.


First half: Bills 13, Cowboys 6.
Second half: Cowboys 24, Bills 0.


That second half was as dominant a half of football as has ever been played in any Super Bowl.

*although, I was in attendance of an St.Louis Cardinals BB game on a Saturday once,,,er,,,& while attempting to chisel down the price during the negotiating process with an beyond fashionably attired& absolute stunningly gorgeous blonde escort/hooker, , , I had ascertained that the Cowboys would be out on that playing field the next day,as she was reconnoitering the facilities A.O. in order to emplace herself in the most advantageous of "score zones"

1995: Cowboys at Raiders. Cowboys won, trashy Raiders fans threw crap at the team as they walked into the locker room after the game. Troy Aikman complained publicly. New rule then instituted at the Oakland Coliseum preventing alcohol from being served after the 3rd quarter. Cowboys went on to win Super Bowl XXX that year.

2009 (preseason): Cowboys at Raiders. Romo hit Witten for a TD. I left with my buddies in the 4th to beat the traffic. Somehow ended up in an Oakland dope house near the stadium afterwards. Weird night.

2009: Chargers at Cowboys. 1st year at Jerry World. Cowboys lose. I wondered how I’d ever watch football in a “normal” setting ever again. The 60-yard HD video board is truly spectacular.

2012: Cowboys at Giants. Wednesday night game to kick off the 2012 NFL season. Giants were defending Super Bowl champs. America’s Team kicked their teeth in, and it was glorious. 2nd date with my current wife who hooked up the tickets. Knew she was the one.

2013: Cowboys at Saints. Sunday Night Football. Cowboys got shellacked while playing high school-level defense. Stupid Saints fans talking all kinds of trash afterwards, as if they’re not our little brothers forever.

2014: Commanders at Cowboys. Monday Night Football. Romo injured his back then came back anyways, like the tough SOB that he was. Cowboys lose in OT.
