I would prefer some success in the playoffs, or at least some consistent effort late in the year. Some heart. Some balls.

On another subject, I love your sig pic.

I wish they did look more like baseball stadiums. I like bricks ... not the spaceship look.

I liked the look of Soldier Field in Chicago with the pillars and the LA Coliseum.

After the modifications, Soldier field doesn't even look like Soldier field to me anymore.

Looks like they just slapped an extra layer of seating on top of it.

Yep, the "Parthenon look" has been obliterated, and not for the better.

Ohhh, I wonder if those white flat areas with chairs are the accessible seating areas? There is enough room for a wheelchair and companion seating and spaces missing between the chairs. As I scan the photos I am looking for what could and couldn't be accessible seating. I'm obviously not sitting in the blue seats. Those white areas are wider for room for a wheelchair to get around. Hmmmm. This might now be so bad after all.

At the Monday Night Eagles game last year I asked about accessible seating since at Texas Stadium it was front row endzone and I was told it was not going to be like it is now which I was pretty bummed about. I loved those seats. You can't get much better than front row endzone for $60. I got a letter a few months ago stating that I no longer have to go through a lottery process for tickets anymore because there are plenty of accessible seats in the new stadium and just go through Ticketmaster. That'll be a plus because when you are flying to the game waiting for lottery tickets can get to be quite nerve wracking.

One article I read said the the ground level suites also have reserved seats above the suites so that the people in the suite can see the game over the heads of the players, etc on the sidelines. The white seats could be either those seats or accessible seating.

Does that mean there won't be a blue wall with white stars on it, like in the old place? That would suck.

Incredible!!!!!

How high is that monitor above the field from the field surface?

Anyone think it might visually interfere with fielding a punt or kick-off?

Now there's an original question to ponder.

The endzone seats wall is the only wall that could hold these stars...but maybe just put some blue stars up there. I really hate about this stadium all the stupid field level suites. Pointless...you can't see from any of the sideline ones so whats the point?

Too much exposed ugly concrete...I wish they stained it or painted alot of it. Just looks cheap.

The staduim looks PHENOMENAL.

Most of the concrete still has coverings that are Cowboys related going over them. The stadium is functional but in no way completed yet.

This cannot be emphasized enough.

I'd also like to add that this stadium is not Texas Stadium and people need to accept that it's not going to have the same charm as the old girl. Should simply appreciate the new things it offers.

I imagine some of the same comments about the Cowboys Stadium are very similar to the ones made about Texas Stadium after the team left the Cotton Bowl.

Well, I'm glad they are concerned about the sight lines of the people sitting in the suites and above them and seeing over the players. I just hope Jerry Jones and the architect of this stadium have proper sight lines for the accessible sections. That means where they have accessible seating anyone that is sitting can see over the people head's in front of them when they are standing. For what they paid for this stadium it better be right. The people that worked with ADA for Texas Stadium always went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of so I'm going to assume all is well in the new stadium.

If you click on the Ticketmaster seating chart Accessible Seating is behind different levels, but the Ticketmaster page could be wrong too. It's hard to tell from these great pics where the accessible seating is. I just hope it is right -- it would really bum me out and tick me off it wasn't. Not just for me, but for anyone with a disability that goes to the game.

Very valid points my dear lady.

90 ft. It will be fine but if not it can still go another 10 or so feet up

be nice.

Except that the blue, star-studded wall is as timeless and familiar as the hole in the roof and the star at midfield. Odd that Jerry and the architects wouldn't incorporate it.
