I think that is to be expected. Change isn't welcome by all and is difficult for many, but.........this is football, just show up and start smacking people around. :bang2:

Whoever doesn't like the new joint will love it after tonight.

I hate Ed Werder.

 

[theebs]

I prefer the old stadium too. It was old, it smelled, the roof was falling apart....perfect for nfc east football.

The people in the pro shop knew what a media guide was.

I will say this though about werder, He has been on espn 1033 all week defending the cowboys and saying how he thinks Dallas is every bit as talented as NY and that he thought we will win. He also got into some heated debates about why he would take romo over manning.

I dont doubt that some of the players said this though, some people and players just have an old school thought process and like things a certain way. Like myself.

C'mon man, you think the Pro shop people making mininum wage at Tex stadium knows more than the Pro shop people at the new place making mininum wage?

Its probably the same people!!

(Unless your being sarcastic in your post, then i didnt see it.)

Werder is the fire-starter for ESPN, and it's seems like it's his job to find anything negative going on.

He's basically a tool.

No, I really do. there were a couple of adults working in the texas stadium pro shop. I buy a media guide at the first home preseason game every year. Sometimes I had to ask for them and they always had them and knew right where they were.

I was on vacation this year and missed the preseason, so I went up there a couple of days ago to get one. All of the employees are teenage girls. I had 6 girls at the checkout look at me like I was crazy, THey said they dont sell media guides and have never heard of them. Then they acted like I was the strange one.

I am bitter about it. THere are two adults working in the pro shop in the parks mall down the street. They told me they were out of them and might not have them again till october but to keep checking back.

Anyway. That pro shop is like going into an abercrombie and fitch. Its really annoying.

Like I said, I loved everything about texas stadium. I will adjust, but it will never be the same.

I can attest to the stupidity of the people in the pro shops. I was at one of the satellite shops trying to a buy a friggin' flag. It didn't have a price on it, but it was ringing up $2.99. The salesman kept saying that price was wrong. So they spent 10 minutes looking through the system to find a flag price that was $5.99.

So I asked the guy, "I bring you an item, it rings up for a certain price, you want to charge me double just because you think it should be priced higher, and you think that I'm going to actually pay you for this now?" I thanked him for wasting my time and turned and walked off.

I understand that EVERYONE is new to the job since it's a new stadium. But holy cow they hired some idiots at this place.

I never saw a game in Texas Stadium much to my regret. However, I have seen many Boys-Skins games at RFK & Fed Ex Field. No comparison. RFK was a GREAT place to see a ballgame. You could walk to and from the stadium from the subway making it easy to get in and out. The upper decks shook more than they showed on TV; it was kind of scary, like being on a concrete mini-trampoline. The crowd was LOUD! Nothing better than mid third quarter when you saw mostly blue and white colors.

When, I first went to Fed EX, I shook my head and said "This is it?"

I have never been to either rfk or fedex. I always wanted to go to rfk.

I have been to the meadowlands and the vet. Not the linc though.

I loved Texas Stadium. It was old and beat up and perfect for football.

No doubt it cost more to find some ambiguous price then to sell you the flag with the price it rang up with.

I think Eddie misses Quarterback Coach. How cute.

 

[Wrangler87]

I only saw one game at Texas Stadium. I guessed which game Emmitt would break the record (used a 60 yard a game average) and bought tickets to the Seattle game in the preseason. I nailed it and got to see Emmitt break the record. Unfortunately, like all big moments at Texas Stadium over the last few years, the Cowboys lost. I loved Texas Stadium though, except for what seemed to be limited tailgating.

Yeah, I've been to the Vet & the Linc, most recently last December.
:bang2:

My brother is a big Ravens fan and he was in Dallas for work and he said: "Dude, Texas stadium is a dump." I think of all of those big games and never to have seen one...I am definitely going to see a T-day game down there.l

ouch, i saw them get whipped their twice too!

TS was a dump. Right off the highway. It was great. It smelled awful just walking around the concourse outside. I will miss that!

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I can understand that some players may not like the new diggs. Like Sarge said, people do hate change.

And yeah, the coverage has been over the top.

Well Ed, who said it? You can't report this without naming names, remember? It seems like ESPN never has a problem when it comes to reporting about what people/players have to say about the Cowboys without mentioning their names. If this were the Patsies/Steal-ers the story would have been squashed. Big Ben was up on rape charges and ESPN refused to report it at first, in fact they were the last sports station to report it.

 

[zeroburrito]

they are in the entertainment business.....
