Stadium Tour Pics 8.15.09

[newlander]

I'm just starting to realize: this is the biggest, best and most expensive stadium in the history of the world...........can't wait for 8pm...........seriously, I can't believe I'm saying that about a preseason game but I can't WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude. Your little one is adorable.

Thank you. She's a great little girl. I was very fortunate that she was interested in the tour (she was the one asking if we could go, not knowing I had already planned it) since it was just the 2 of us (of my family) that went. It would have been incredibly difficult to get all those pics if I'd had to wrangle her the whole time.

Well all i can say as as I gather around my TV I'll think about you.I do have a mitsubishi like Jerrys and it is the most awsome tv on earth. It is 73 inches and yes I am I am in HDTV heaven..To me the being there is overrated--on HDTV you can see it all..

So can any ticket holder go into those fancy bars for a drink, or are they restricted to high rollers?

That's why I posted it. Sorry it's from an awkward angle. There's a partition wall right in front of it. The group was leaving and I looked around the corner and saw it at the last minute. Snapped the pic and ran to catch up.

Are there rules in the NFL for showing replays?

It looks like from the field you could get a good look on those big screens.

Is there some sort of restriction about giving the home team good shots so that they can challenge things?

 

[Boyzmamacita]

The initial set up takes alot of time, the field doesn't come complete and finished. The seams have to be created, the numbers, star and endzones and logos have to be cut and fitted and then the lines are painted on after it's in place. The hole thing is then ready. they can then remove the field for another even and place the NFL field back down in 12 hours..

Thanks for the thorough explanation, Quest.

That's a great question. Also, can the replay officials use the big screen for their rulings? It should have the same views and angles and it's much bigger for better viewing.

I heard that the scoreboard will not be using the network feeds, but rather the Cowboys' in-house TV crew.

So, $1.2 billion for that otherwise beautiful stadium, and no one considered punters?

They did.

Apparently, they brought in McBriar to see how high he kicked the ball. I guess he must've had a bad day.

Thank you for sharing the photos.

Very nics pics. Man, I would love to go to a game, but I'm not about to spend what it takes from what I have found so far.

Well, as long as they did in-depth research in planning.

Is your little girl too good to sit in Ware's locker? lol get that 8 off the jersey and put a 94 on it.

lol

I'm pretty sure the wall to the right of his locker is shared with the Press Conference Room. IIRC, the thing was laid out like a rectangle with a partition wall running parallel with the entrance and longer sides. Buehler's locker is in the front right corner. Starting OL on the partition wall right in the middle. Romo & Witten on the far left. Normal kickers isolated behind and right of the OL. Ware, Spencer, Ratliff further to the right rear corner of the room. Most of the rookies seemed to be in the front right corner closer to the entrance wall.

actually, they weren't supposed to let anyone actually sit in the lockers. Landry didn't hear that and she was up there before I could tell her. Her jersey has a 9 on it, which is why she's in Romo's locker.

Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know why they put down the football field only to remove it for the McCartney concert? There was no Cowboys game until now, so why put the field and end zone down only to remove it? A test run maybe?

They were still working on putting it together the week before the concert.
