Favorite Cowboys game you ever attended?

[Crown Royal]

Either 2009 - at NOLA. My dad and I actually flew to the game, no one gave the Cowboys a chance against the undefeated Saints. Demarcus Ware showed the league how dominant he was.

Runner up - 2010. Rookie Sean Lee shows Payton Manning he is basically a safety playing linebacker - don't throw at him.

Worst games were either 1999 - Terrell Owens stands on the star. As bad as that was, the crown booing Troy Aikman was disgusting. Other option was the 2007 playoff loss to the Giants. Painful game to watch; I've never seen a replay of it because I don't ever want to experience it again.

Nov 83. Cowboys beat St Louis. It was my first game. I was a Brit who did some insurance business for a company out of Fort Worth. Couple of the blokes there took me to see the Boys in Texas stadium while I was doing a business trip servicing the account. Was completely clueless to what was going on but I loved it. What was thrilling was the atmosphere. I was a fan of a soccer team renowned for noisy atmospheres but the crowd were very loud and it was just as good but different. Certainly safer.


It coincided with NFL being shown in the UK and the game getting some exposure and a small following. I moved companies not long afterwards but kept watching football. Next time i saw the boys was in 85 at Wembley against the WC Bears in a pre season game.
I managed to see a game every 1 or 2 years until COVID and I'm retired now but funds allowing I'm planning on seeing a game next year.

Did you get to go the Cowboys/Jags game in 2014? That was a fun game - lots of Dez Bryant just dominating them on short passes he turned into long gains.

it was great. I told them to get their sh— and go home you blanking losers. It was delightful after dealing with them all game.

I shut my mouth, and walked behind a 6’10 cop who was carrying out two Bill’s Maggie (1 in each hand).

I’m a lover - not a fighter. It was legit scary in the section I was in.

I have been to 5 games that were all in Texas stadium. Have yet to go to AT&T stadium yet.

My favorite game was the Thanksgiving Jason Garrett game. Cowboys were down by half-time but came roaring back in the second half. Emmitt Smith turned it up and Garrett just threw the ball deep to his receivers. Great game.

Even though they lost to the eagles (they weren't a good team), my favorite was the final game of the 88 season which happened to be Tom Landry's final game. I admired the man and the coach that he was.

Lol. I started out nice but they were awful. Could not abuse them enough. Helps to also be a behemoth.

Im going to go with dallas against Indy back in 99 i think. Its the game that dallas jumped ahead I think it was 17-3 maybe. Hunter Smith caught deion on a punt return from behind early in game i believe. I was talking mess and enjoying the game and then Payton and the Colts woke up and put a beat down on the boys. Man i remember that dreaded walk back to the car with all them colt fans letting me have it.

But I enjoyed the game. If I have to go with one I hated it would be the monday night game against the bears when Romo threw 5 picks (2012). I drove 12 hours for that it was before I moved down here to texas

Thanksgiving 1974.Roger out Longley in,duel with the Commanders,Longley hits Billy Joe Dupree for a TD and the Commander came right back but with less than 1 minute left, Drew Pearson got behind Ken Stone and I saw his running past before Longley released the ball.
Longley to Drew88 is a moment in Cowboy history.

I was also there for proably the greatest Cowboy regular season game ever.1979 Rogers double 2 TD comeback agains the Commanders (and Larry Cole's stop of Riggins)for a playoff berth and the game that got Commanders coach Jack Pardee fired.
Also there for Emmit's 7 yd run into history against Seattle.I'm lucky to have a lot to choose from.

My next one, which will be my first.

I’ve attended a couple here in DC/FedEx. But the best for me was the 07 Green Bay game, where TO did the Popcorn thing. Great Game. We knocked Farve out and Aaron gave a foreshadowing of this to come. Great Game. Other than seeing that collection of talent, a great game and of course a Win. But possibly the best part , was walking around the parking lot with my Emmitt Championship White jersey, for the first time being with 60/70 K Cowboys fans. The Nation. Normally have to deal with Washington fans This was awesome!!

 

[stuckindc]

My favorite has to be the Emmitt Smith takedown of the Giants in N.J. for all the playoff marbles to finish the 1993 season. Incredible performance and a most memorable game.

That is my favorite Cowboy team. I think they were better than the 92 team. There was nothing better than Smashing the 49ers for the 2nd year in a Row. We were so far in their heads. I said it in another post but they hired every mercenary they could, simply to beat us. Stupid PI. But that’s another rant

Pitts Dallas 2016 in Pittsburg. 7 lead changes and zeke scored in last minute

That was an awesome game. I was at the 08 game in Pittsburgh. Was so cold. We had them dead and then Romo had one of those endings. That was a painful loss

 

[stuckindc]

That for sure was a great game for you attend.

That was the beginning!!

 

[stuckindc]

I live in Norcal, the buildup for that game was unbelievable. That is all anyone talked about, this was back when local sports talk radio was big and thats all they talked about all week. It was incredible.

That essentially was the Super Bowl for the Next 3 years. The absolute greatness on both teams was like no other. How many HOFers? 7?

 

[stuckindc]

back when zeke was a real threat.

Dak hit Dez with Dime!! Then Zeke broke their backs..

Virginia Resident here - Believe it or not my favorite game was when Quincy Carter went into Commander stadium and beat the Commanders. My brother and I had been to a handful of games in the 80's and early 90's and the Cowboys had lost every game we had gone to. I got free tickets to the skins game that year and had great loge seats in their new stadium at the time. I have only been to one game in Texas but have visted Cleveland, Atlanta, Baltimore, Philly, NYG and Washington multiple times.

Unfortunately no but I saw most of the action on TV. Dez was great.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Either the game Emmitt broke the record against Seahawks or the 1/8/95 playoff win over the Packers.

Triplets ROH game was great but we lost to the Skins in the final minutes.

 

[Big_D]

I go every year to the Cowboys at Giants so the Emmitt dislocated shoulder game or week 1 Monday Night Football when Emmitt took it 65 yards for the score. We also made the trip to Philly Halloween 93? when he ran for 237 yards.

Stayed at the team hotel in New Orleans during the Campo era. They lost but it was still a great trip.

My first trip to Texas Stadium. Beat the Giants on a last second interception.

Pitts Dallas 2016 in Pittsburg. 7 lead changes and zeke scored in last minute

I was there. That was a great game! The Steelers always play Renegade by Styx at some point in the 4th quarter. The people around me were making a big deal about it. I asked them me what song they play when they lose a lead in the final minutes of the game. Surprisingly the Steelers fans were great and had a great experience there even though I was rooting for the opposing team.
