If you haven't bought the tickets yet, PM me. I have a pair 4 rows from the field in the end zone. I also have a pair for on the first row but plan on sitting in those. I can tell you exactly where to park as well.

I should have gotten with you before I took my family to the Indy game.

mods: sorry if there are more threads out there like this. I couldnt find what I was looking for. please move or merge....if necessary.

1. Tickets. I could go with ticketmaster which i will probbaly do, but i think i can get some better tickets via craigslist. ill pay. but to me . its worth it. I dont have 1500 budget . but ill do a grand. my girl and I are going. we live about 3 hours away, so no hotel or taxi money!!

2. Were getting there really early. I dont know the area, and we want to make a "day" out it . we would like to find a "dive like" restaurant with good food. not criminal like,,etc etc . but, we arent fancy people and enjoy "somewhat" edgy and culture like bars... with good food!!

3. Parking. is it a night mare?

4. we want to get our faces painted. is there anybody offering services liek that around the area?


she knows nothing. and i do mean NOTHING about football. but she is excited cuz im amped all up!!! i told her not to wear the pink 9 romo jersey. but she probably will....she doesnt listen to me. im used to it.
.

You should try the Stadium tour, I ended up going on the it the next day and getting meet Kenny Gant, Michael Downs, and Too Tall Jones none of which my 10 year old son knew. lol.

The "church" everyone is talking about is at this link below. This place is awesome! It is very close to the stadium and is only $35 to park(for the playoff game), I can assure you other lots close by are going to be close to $100.00 for this game. Also, this lot has a bus that drives you a few blocks from the stadium and then when the game is over, you can go get on the bus at the same spot and it gets you back to the lot. The bus gets you from point A to B quickly too. You have to book it online ASAP though because the lot sells out fast. I just booked mine.

Below is the direct link to book lot 6.

No worries. Hit me up in the future if you need tickets. I usually only go to 3 games or so a year and sell the rest of mine. My tickets are very nice and on the aisle too. Here is a picture from the 4th row ones.

This.

Get a gift card at Best Buy for $40 and leave the reciept on the dash for free parking. The walk to the stadium is a piece of cake and it's easy to get out of the parking lot after the game. Scream loud and enjoy yourself. I'll look for you on TV.

That bestbuy is gone.. it closed down.. but there are some other places in there you can pay the $40 to get a gift card. It is slim pickings though.. I think they have a Michaels in there.

Yeah, the games are a blast. I have a feeling this playoff game is going to be really rocking too. I know tons of people have bought tickets to go to it. It will be a packed house with rabid fans.

The next day we went to the stadium tour so we listened to 105.3 the fan and my kids got a kick out of them saying that the crowd noise mad a difference. My son said "hey dad they're talking about us". lol

Just be careful if you go the Craig's list route.
Stubhub is safer. Or the nfl tickets site.

If I were taking a non-football fan to the game and considering that you live within driving distance, I might consider the party pass. I have not done the party pass, but I did walk around up there to check it out during the game. You'll probably end up watching the TV more than seeing the field, but you'll get the general game experience. You can have fun before the game just hanging out in the parking lot.

I was most pleasantly surprised about how easy it was to get in once the gates opened. No pushing and shoving. Well organized. I don't know why I expected more chaos.

Tailgaiting around the stadium is awesome. We had a multiplicity of invites from complete stranges. It's a brotherhood.

If you want some inexpensive Cowboys paraphernalia, the Wal-Mart is right across the block with loads of stuff. When you are a Cowboys fan in the middle of nowhere, getting your hands on any and everything Cowboys is priceless.

To OP, Main thing, can't stress enough get there EARLY! It's crazy no matter what game you go to, I went to the Cards and Colts game this year, needless to say the Colts game was so much fun, the earlier you go more time you can enjoy all the activities out front, I can just imagine how it's going to be like for the playoffs!!! Wow lucky you!

i am from the east coast too. recently moved to Texas for work. ive been to the old stadium twice. regular season games with not that much fan fair. Its freaking hot in Texas in October. it was those years at least....... OMG!!! but now, im a 3 hour drive away !!!! leave sunday return sunday . no hotel no taxis or rentals......saves me cash.

And that old stadium saw a lot of action and partying in the 70s early 80s...!!! it was old....

been a fan since 10 years old i am in my 40s. seen a lot of stuff in my life. worked all my life i am working class,,,,, not too much gets me excited anymore, i think its a byproduct of getting "older:"

but im amped for this game. excited!!! NEVER expected this at the start of the season. i aint missing a second. i aint missing this game. im going to pay a small fortune to be there(fortune for me). and it will be worth every penny! the new stadium. the Boys in the playoffs looking so good......no way im missing this.

thanks for the tips!!!

Cool.
I've been a fan since I was 8 and I'm 52 now. From NY but live in CA now (work and girls brought me here :)).
Have a great time. Don't drink too much if you are on a 3hour drive home after the game.
