Here is a broader parking map of the area for those interested:

Prices are ridiculous, but I feel it's worth it from time to time at the very least.. it'd be tough for me because I'd have to fly out there, but I went to the MNF game against the Eagles in 2004 (when McNabb had that play running around for what seemed like an hour), and the expensive trip was well worth it.

I paid $550 for 2 lower corner tickets 20 rows from the field for our December 6th matchup against the Giants, and it came with parking. Expensive? Yeah, pretty damn expensive.. but I can deal with it. Don't think I'd do it on a yearly basis but every few years I try to get to a game. Hoping that we play @New England next season so I can go there.

Stadium has a SW - NE alignment, hmmm. Like Stonenenge. Maybe we can get the druids to sacrifice iggles' fans there twice a year.

Good thread, I may actually try to get to the new Stadium. Didn't think that would be possible.

[SIZE=+2]Caelum Moor monuments will find new home at park near new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington

[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]By JEFF MOSIER / The Dallas Morning News
jmosier@***BANNED-URL*** [/SIZE] Arlington’s praised and briefly vilified 540-ton granite Caelum Moor monuments are about to re-emerge after nearly a dozen years in storage.
The city intends to spend about $1 million to install the 22 pink Texas granite stones — arranged as five different monument sets — in a park near the new Dallas Cowboys stadium. The work is expected to start early 2009 and should take about six months to complete.
“It’s going to be in a high-visibility location,” said George Guernsey, a landscape architect who worked on the plans. “It lends itself to becoming a landmark.”
The Caelum Moor sculptures — which have a style reminiscent of England’s Stonehenge — were first installed on commercial property along Interstate 20 more than two decades ago. The set was intended as an artistic centerpiece for an office park that never materialized.
The owner donated the sculptures to the city in hopes that they would find their way into a public park.
About that time, a local church claimed that pagans or Satanists were using the site for rituals. Police officials at the time said they never found evidence backing up those claims. A coalition of local pastors urged the city to not to display the monuments on municipal property.
Since 1997, the stones have been stored at the Pierce Burch Water Treatment Plant. Now the city has a design to incorporate the stones into a 3.8-acre section of Richard Greene Linear Park along Randol Mill Road and next to Johnson Creek.
The current plans include walking paths and landscaping in addition to the stone structures. The city and RTKL architects, which prepared the site plan, also received input from Norm Hines, the California-based sculptor who created the monuments.
They used old photos documenting the site as well as a PBS documentary about the original project to help design the new layout.
“It’s magnificent work that we’re very lucky and very fortunate in this city to have,” council member Sheri Capehart said.
