I miss Texas Stadium. Such an iconic place. Something the current stadium has never achieved.
If you don't believe the AT&T is iconic maybe you haven't seen all the games shots around Arlington, it's all centered around AT&T it is becoming iconic... I mean aren't we on the verge of 18 straight wins there we have home field advantage that's clear it's loud in there it's almost always sold out...

I mean I get what you're saying but please don't downplay it just because we haven't won any Super Bowls... And by the way that design launched a lot of other teams to want something similar you remember all they could talk about is the drapes in the artwork you know the sunlight coming in the big scoreboard the punters were gonna try to hit it all the time of course it's iconic but not in the way you would like it but they talk about it all the time....

And by the way if you went to both stadiums you would know it was clear the Cowboys needed to build somewhere else the only one way in and one way out it was a traffic nightmare at the old stadium here at AT&T getting in and out is 10 times better it's more centered in the Metroplex and easy in and out to a bunch of highways and arteries to jump on off and get where you need to go...

So nothing lasts forever and by the way it wasn't upgrade it was necessary and it's now better experience to get in and out of that place.... Not to mention it's in an entertainment district there's so much other things to do around it we have the old ballpark that's now Choctaw stadium you have the new ballpark you have all kinds of parks in between and places to walk to you have Lowe's you have the Miller live and all that other stuff it's very very much a better stadium, period end of story....

I think we lost our first game in the new stadium to the Giants.
Yes and we did struggle to win and get a home field advantage there for a while but right now we're completely a true home field advantage situation....

That last game is one of the reasons why I still can't stand Jason Garrett. That was a big game and he totally screwed it up.
How did Garrett screw it up? Our defense gave up 265 yards rushing. Good luck winning a game when your defense gets road graded. We found that out last week.
