...it would mess up the networks' plan to showcase the Jones Mahal for the first time in the regular season. I bet neither of our preseason home games comes on nationally, but will NFL Network give the usual sneak peak during preaseason games?

No, the sports channels will totally ignore the worlds most spectacular stadium.

OK. The sarcasm meter is running high tonight. I'm just curious since all of the major networks were competing to be the first. The preseason will be sort of a spoiler.

I bet they would showcase it just the same way even if it were on in preseason. We diehards will watch everything we can in preseason, but lots of more casual fans won't pay attention until the real season starts.

we may get a National TV pre-seaon game on the road. But they will be showing pictures and videos....need to hype it up. No problem showing it for previews....it's the actual 1st regular season game in it's enirety that counts.

that is something I have thought about repeatedly.

In my mind the preseason games should be sellouts and everyone should attend considering the new building. It is going to be interesting to see the turnout.

and for gods sake will they give us the preseason schedule already. My wife is going to kill me in my sleep and dump me in the trinity soon if I keel holding up the vacation days!

There is an easy fix. Play the home games at the Cotton Bowl. :laugh1:
That would certainly be an interesting twist.

The networks don't want the game because they would get to show off a new stadium.

they want the game because it would be DALLAS COWBOYS.

I don't think any preseason games would affect what the networks are after anyway. The ratings will be the same.

they don't have a million cameras for preseason games like a Sunday or Monday night game would.
