Stadium is Busy Today

[poke]

So I went by the Stadium today to buy a program for Sundays game
at the Pro Shop.

There were people everywhere, tours going, shopping, workers trimming
grass, putting finishing touches on stuff.

They have a ton of tents set up in each Plaza with Video Screens going.

The Landry Statue is located right by the Pro Shop which is the North side of the Stadium

theebs , the east side of lot 15 has the pavement down and stripes on it,
no lights, i couldnt tell if they were gonna use it or not but it looked to
me like they could use that part of it.

It looks like Mr. Landrys statue is right next to my paver.

I've found a few funny pavers while searching for mine and others.

Yep I went by there tuesday and the lot past webb street was paved and lined, the other one was all dirt.

I hope I know by tomorrow. Its going to be interesting if I dont know if I have a spot or not!!!

They were hanging Dr Pepper signage in there.

I also heard an ad for the Love and War in Texas tent at Cowboy Stadium
in one of the plaza areas.
I imagine there will be several local restaurants that have a presence there.

fyi..Love and War in Texas is a Texas themed steak place.

They're really taking it until the last minute to finish everything, aren't they?

i dont think they will finish everything by this Sunday. i am not even sure
that they planned to.

i heard Jerrys daughter say in a local interview that they had a punch list
with like 20,000 items on it. They will also be adding pieces of art throughout
the year i believe.

that area is hopping today and i am sure it will be all weekend.

The art can wait. But they can at least get the plastic wrap and tape off Coach Landry's statue ASAP.

There's a VIP cocktail party at the stadium tonight from 6-9...I assume all season ticket holders were invited...I was.

there in the middle of setting that up. I was talking to one of the guys out there tuesday and they set it was going to take a few days.

Awesome info! Thanks a lot.

Tom Landry looks lonely.

To me, he looks stately!

BTW, your avatar of the "Afghan Girl" (Sharbat Gula) is one of the most memorable images from my childhood. A wonderful piece of art!
