[texbumthelife]

Hey guys, I am not doing Sports Writing anymore, but I just happened to get this thrown my way this morning. Some of you may not be completely up to date on some of these numbers.

I do have to credit Jerry, he is an innovative and forward thinking businessman. I just wish those traits extended to the football side of the Cowboys organization more often.

Yeah, I had included a jab about that:

"Will the new facilities improve results on the field, or be yet another distraction? Only time will tell, but Jerry the business man sure is showing Jerry the GM whose boss."

... but my editor chopped it because "we aren't a sports outlet."

Am I understanding correctly that in the future, fans will be charged $4500 for the privilege of watching the Cowboys practice and the fans that formerly got to watch them for a mere pittance will then be excluded from watching them practice? Sounds like the average fan is gradually losing his former privileges while Jerry increasingly finds ways to cater to the rich. If so, sad for the average Joe.

He's a giant mixed bag. Most of what he does is good for the Cowboys and good for the brand. But his tendency to take big risks and his willingness to let players go around coaches to him directly are really damaging to building a team in the long run.

At least they seem to be constraining the big risks to short term deals right now. That's a positive. I hate his open-door policy for the players, though. And the fact that he'll say things to undermine his coach in the press every now and then.

Impressive!

Actually, it's completely sold out, but yes you understand partially correctly. The club won't be the only way to watch. There will be other levels of access.

This is what happens when you fall so far from prominense, you are forced to pack em in any way
shape or form. So OK! it's a shopping center, luxury hotel nobody can afford, resteraunts that will
offer 5 Michelline star cuisine, Once again nobody will be able to afford. However if P.T. Jerruh
can lure them in Barnum will have been right that a sucker is born every minute

Other levels such as what, if you please. Are you able at this time to divulge such plans, or is it too soon to reveal that right now?

All I have is a press release from their PR and some news clippings I researched myself. I don't have that information, but it's not necessarily because it's yet to be revealed. It simply wasn't made available to me and I only had half an hour to research and publish the piece.

I will definitely keep y'all updated on whatever comes my way regarding the training facility.

Thanks very much for that consideration. I really do appreciate your considerable efforts, kind sir.

I may or may not be able to partake of the newest innovations but it's still good to know anyhow.

We might not be winning big, but the team hasn't fallen from prominence. They're not going to have any problems selling access to the team this way. He probably wouldn't be able to do much better if he setup a bank of printers to just 3D print more money.

Honestly, much like the giant space ship in Arlington, the picture doesn't do it justice. You really can't grasp the scale of it.

Drive by it almost every day and that it is!

I believe the $4500 fee belongs to a "Special Fan Club" who will be able to view practices and mingle with players after practices are complete. Your also charged $350 a month fee. Jerry sure knows how to make money and also leave most of their fans out.

I disagree, when you have fallen from the ranks of championship glory as they have! then you are just another
pawn in their sick game of amusement. Think about it for a second, Dallas may get the primetime slots on Mondays,
Thursdays and Sunday's at 1,4, and 8. Jerruh may have his freak show selling out games while fans are at his pro
shop ripping merchandise off the shelf as they gorge on beer, taco's, Nacho's and hotdogs

but all that is? is a money and ratings ploy to get the sucker to keep feeding the machine. Dallas is no longer
relevant as you may think and will continue to stay that way until something is done about the owner who's
ego is to big for this universe

Thank you Sir. Now my wife and I will have to gas up the car and pay a visit for this grand opening stuff. We were in the seats for the first football game at the AT&T Stadium, (Tennessee).

You're all welcome. Like I said earlier, I will let you guys know as more comes across my desk and if anything else Cowboys related comes my way. I have done some stories for several former Cowboys investments and companies, but this is the first story I have done directly related to the team.
