Looking for advice on Dallas trip

[jazzcat22]

Got pics of the view??

Yes but not sure how to post it. I don't do photo bucket or anything like that to insert a link.
But they are great seats. and the perfect level. You are not distracted by the video board, and keep focused on the field. You can just literally roll your eyes up or down and look at either without straining your neck.

If you get there early enough and do not want to sit in your seats too early, and don't want to be in the crowd in the concession area. There are some stairs you can go up to the next level. There are leather seats and chair to lounge in and relax.

There is also a mini pro shop just past the rest rooms.
If you ant drinks and beers, there are separate bars so you don't need to wait in the food lines to get a beer. There is also a little bar to just lounge around in.

The only drawback is, once you get to this area, you can't go walk around the stadium to other levels. but there is really no need to either.

If you drive to the stadium, get parking on the South side, as the entry gate to section 313 is on the South East side. I parked in lot 11.

Don't go to Fort Worth. Go to Dallas. Check out the Perot museum and eat in uptown. The stocky yards in Fort Worth is boring and super touristy. Don't do it.

Yeah tourist trap, unless you are into the Billy Bob's settings. But you can see a rodeo in there if they still do that. LOL.
Or one can check out the bar that Walker Texas Ranger was filmed in. LOL. I can't remember the real name. I want to say the White buffalo or White Elephant Saloon.

Though many used to, maybe still do, preferred Sundance Square in FW over downtown Dallas. Less chance of getting mugged. LOL.

Take a tour of the stadium when you get there on Saturday, it's pretty awesome. Just leave your credit card at home or you'll spend all your rent money on Cowboys gear in the Pro Shop, lol

How do I do this tour of the stadium? I think that would be an awesome experience actually. Is there any way to meet any of the Cowboys players?

All the info is appreciated fellas!

When I did it, we just went to the stadium and waited in line to buy tickets for the tour. That was a few years back, so maybe things have changed. It looks like you can buy tix through the stadium website, but there don't appear to be any tickets available for Saturday. Maybe give them a call and see if you can just walk in and buy tickets. The tour was great. You go through luxury boxes, the locker room, and normally they let you throw footballs on the field, but the day we went they were still putting the field back together after a concert the night before.

You won't get mugged in down town Dallas. Please.

Probably not mugged, but who would want to go to stanky old Dallas when the Christmas wonderland of Sundance Square awaits! ;-)
(Tarrant County for the win...WEST SIDE!)

Um, no. Stanky Dallas? Where are you hanging out at? Fort Worth is nothing but a bunch of typical college kids. Dallas is way more interesting and diverse.

You'd better bring some warm clothing with you. The high on Saturday will be 70 degrees, but there will be an Arctic cold front that's supposed to hit on Saturday, making the temp fall throughout the day. The high on Sunday will only be 32, with wind chills in the teens. Bundle up!

And drink. Heavily.

Fort Worth Stockyards are a fun place to visit. Also at the risk of sounding like Broaddus go check out Star Sports tours website. I did my visit through them and they sell tickets to tailgates, stadium tours and player meet and greets directly from there if you're looking to do more Cowboys related stuff

This reminds me. The last few years in the section 313 area, they had a former player for autographs and pictures before the game started. Not sure if they were doing that this year.

I met Charles Hailey and Leon Lett a few years ago at that websites tailgate party. They do a big player meet and greet too. You definitely need to do the stadium tour though. Getting to play football down on the feild was a highlight of my trip

I been though many parts of the stadium. Even was in Jerry's private booth, the one where he and only his family uses when they want to discuss things in total privacy.

Was there for a season tickets holders event one time. And the cheerleaders already left, they never did bring the 5 SB thropies to get picks with.
So one of the security guards felt bad for us and since it was almost over, he took me and my friend on a different type of tour...it was great....
The door was left open to that booth. So he took us in there.

For their Christmas events, got photos on the Star on the field, and in the locker room, and in the press conference room. Yes being on the field is cool. I recommend it to all.

You got Billy Bob's and stockyards thing to do, but Sundance square downtown is beautiful and you also have the 7th street corridor. Your chances of getting mugged are 10 times greater in Dallas than Fort Worth.

Stop with that bull****.

Okay, 5.

In Fort Worth you're more likely to get drugged and raped. College, Bros!

My Dad is a lifelong Cowboys fan turning 69, I decided to take him to the Cowboys game for his birthday! We are flying into Dallas from SF on Saturday and returning on Monday. Staying in a Marriott in Arlington.

I would love for anyone's advice that knows the area well on where would be a good place for me to take him Saturday night for some good food and drinks, anywhere to go on Sunday before the game to check out the city (should we just goto the stadium to watch the early games too?), and anything else that I might be overlooking.

We'll be seated at Club Mezzanine 313, Row 1 if anyone will be nearby. I am beyond excited!!

Take the tour on Saturday.

I kind of enjoy that aspect of it. Except those TCU girls with the sharp fingernails. They should realize that all they have to do is ask, to get me into the van.
