So my buddy and I arrive at DFW yesterday, pumped up knowing that we have 200 level seats fir tonight's game. My friend proceeds to inform me that his wife knows Jerry Reese, GM of the Giants and that she emailed him and there's a chance he could give us field passes. Well fast forward to 8:30 last night and we're in a taxi to the Giants' hotel (the Hilton DFW) to meet Jerry. I gotta say it, what a good guy he is. Very gracious and down to earth. He is only 46 years old and making all the personnel decisions. I asked him if the sports media creates stories from their perspective and he just busted out laughing. He said "I'll see Mortensen on ESPN say he spoke to me and I'll say to my wife 'what? I haven't spoken to him'!". One of my friends asked about the videoboard and he thought that the only way to hit it would be if you were trying. Anyway, some cool tidbits from somebody high up in the biz. After 20 minutes of chatting he texted somebody and said they have 4 field passes left ( there were 4 of us there). He then went upstairs to one of the hotel rooms and came back with 4 field passes!!!! I told him that having met him will soften the blow if we lose because he's a great guy! Anyways, can't wait to roam the field during pre-game tonight.

Go cowboys!!!

Thats cool man. It always looks like it would be fun to have sideline passes because so many interesting people are down there. Pat summerall, all the local media, the tv crew, former coaches and players.....You can talk to them if you are on the sideline.

with the big dinner last night and all kinds of people in town I bet the sideline tonight is loaded with people.

Your mission is to write up a detailed, and I mean detailed, report of your experience at the stadium and post it to this board.

That's great! You'll need to post a follow-up and let us know what it was like. A few pictures wouldn't hurt either. :)

Does anyone have experience with the field pass? Any idea how early you can get out there? Do they kick everyone out before kickoff or can you linger?

Lucky You , have a good time and make the stadium as loud as possible when g-men has the ball, at the same time keep it quiet when Flozell is operating :laugh2:

+1.

While you're at it, kick Brandon Jacobs in the groin. Do the same to Antonio Pierce while you're at it too. :cool:
