Just wanted to share a couple more stats. 73 different players who called this building home represented the Cowboys in the Pro Bowl. 12 of them are in the Ring of Honor. One more player is in the RIng of Honor who played in Texas Stadium but who was not a Pro Bowl elected player while doing so, Bob Hayes. 8 of those 12 are already in the Hall of Fame. Some more are coming to the Ring of Honor and the Hall Of Fame one day. 15 different members of the current team have represented the Cowboys in the Pro Bowl.
Texas stadium officially opened on October 24th, 1971. She officially closes on December 20th, 2008. 37 years, 1 month and 27 days. Or for you math junkies 13,573 days.
Here are the 73 players who made the Pro Bowl while playing their home games in Texas Stadium.
