Dallas Cowboys Create Swanky Country Club at New Billion-Dollar Facility

[zrinkill]

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones knows just how obsessed fans can be when it comes to watching their favorite Texas, team. With the Cowboys' new $1 billion training facility in Frisco, Texas named The Star, Jones is catering to the one percent by creating an elevated luxury fan experience.

Looks amazing. haha

The entire comlex will have a wide range of uses....one of which is that country club thingie.

There are several public use parts of the overall design too. And, of course, the team will be contributing many millions to various charities through the revenue generated

BTW, I think Dallas is trying to get the draft help at the STAR. They have a 8-10,000 seat civic auditorium that would be great for it.

Jones sounds as if he will be in Goodell's ear nonstop trying to land hosting rights for the draft. For me, that's both a good and bad thing. It's good because North Texas would be an excellent venue for a professional football draft. It's bad because I don't know how well Jones would restrain himself from occasionally interacting with ESPN and NFL Network coverage of the event, while the draft is unfolding.

Jones' place should always be inside the Cowboys warroom without interruption--regardless how much the annual sight of him parked inside with his iced tea unnerves some viewers. He shouldn't take advantage of any opportunities to gain face time on the networks outside the warroom while teams are on the clock but the chance of seeing him plop down beside Mayock or Kiper when Dallas isn't scheduled to pick wouldn't surprise me either.

Then again, it would be funny as heck seeing Jones running off at the mouth, only to have Eisen interrupt him to announce Dallas making an unanticipated trade. The look on Jones' face, being caught unawares, would be priceless.

An elite, exclusive club to watch a practice?

LOL!

 

[slick325]

WOW!

 

[iceberg]

He should try giving them a winning franchise.

I think its funny. Did anyone in the general public know anything about this club beforehand?

"Elevated fan experience". Yeah, probably not. If I'd known about it, I might have gotten one just for the networking, but I'm guessing the common folk weren't invited. This was much less about "fans" than it was about cherry picking the influential who Jerry wants to keep entertained.

I don't really care but it's funny to me.

Looks more like the swanky hotels in Manhattan.

Just think if Dallas was having success on the field.........they would be the envy of all professional teams.

Soon, the Cowboys will be practicing with people at trade conventions oogling at them through the windows.

Great.

Great.

I picture high-end square business office with Cowboys practicing in middle section. Give it time.

That is exactly what is happening...the fans paid a membership to sit inside at a swanky AC'ed club and watch the practices thru the windows....the memberships already sold out... I read they will occasionally black out the windows to protect the teams privacy...

He's probably a Giants fan anyway.

The NFL Draft will be there within 4 years. Bank on it.
