Dump.

If I designed it I would have completed it and cleaned up out front. Maybe a little grass.

Tried to get a shot of the domed field from the back but the traffic got irritated at me driving two miles an hour. Thee side view of the stadium is an interesting shot. it shows the hotel. And in the foreground where thew dirt is will be the two practice fields.

Hope it was okay with management to put these here.

From the Junction Boys to the Star. I understand that players can rent someone to practice for them.

Seriously, I find this all this to be more than just a little disturbing. What did the Prison warden in Law Abiding Citizen say? Something to the effect that he wouldnt want to be one of the "Haves" under those kind of circumstances.

I dont want anybody to take this the wrong way and it's absolutely not directed at anyone in particular, so please just think about my question a little before reacting....

Does anybody else sense a transformation in Cowboy fans where we seem to be substituting victory on the field with perceived victories when it comes to the financial success, marketing innovations, and enhancing entertainment value?

Will this facility increase the probability of getting back to the Super Bowl? Or is it just another tourist attraction, Jerry World's Epcot Center?

Training camps used to be remote, harsh, and challenging. It was beleived that practicing together under chalenging conditions created unity, endurance, and mental toughness. It brought teams closer together.

Im not suggesting the opposite extreme of the Junction Boys, Im just saying that you don't reward two decades of mediocrity with a pampered playground. The old Cowboys were given state of theI art treatment at times but they knew how to defend their house and erase any perception that they were spoiled and soft.

Recently, a successful Cowboy team with possible homefield advantage for a. Super Bowl completely imploded and their fans had to suffer the embarresment of a historic rival taking their city over.

One of the main contributors of these sad circumstances was a GM with the higher priority of marketing his new stadium.

This season will indicate whether these facilities are a distraction or a prerequisite to greatness. But everyone should keep their eye on the ball.

lol at the Ford emblem already being up.

Somebody has to pay for this. You know the Jones will only pay for maybe $200M of it. The rest of the $1.5B will be paid by everyone else.

The NFL isn't a goldmine for the owners, it's a Californium 252 mine.

Put a damn competitive team on the field Jerry! I couldn't care less about where your losers practice. Bring pride back to the Cowboys with a winning team, and not crappy novelties.

They were emailing season ticket holders to sell suites and club memberships for use of the facilities, or certain parts of it. And a pretty hefty price.
