Why was Dave Campo there? Just curious.Sounds like a great experience. I got to go tour the Star before the playoff game against the Packers in 2017. It was an impressive facility. Only got to see Dave Campo and David Irving when we toured the place.

Cool. I always heard he was a nice guy. Felt bad for him through all those 5-11 seasons!!He was doing a radio/studio show from there, and happened to come out in the hallway. He was very nice.
It was a quality experience. Started it off with finding free parking right in front. I couldn't believe it and walked around to look for any type of parking signs.
They gave me $7 back (bought tickets ahead online) since I'm a veteran. Tour guide was good, kind of a combination of funny and cheesy, but did a good job.
Highlights of the tour included our tour coinciding with the players going out to practice. Got to see Tank, Quinn, TFred, and Zeke in the weight room. Kristi Scales stopped by to address the group. Charles Haley interrupted the tour, insulted people (was actually kind of cruel to some people), joked with my daughter, shook my hand. Watched Helman, Broaddus, and a third person doing the Draft Show. Saw Clarence Hill and Bill Jones. I know Babe Laufenberg a little and was hoping to see him, but didn't.
The facility is a lot to take in. You get to see the War Room, the team meeting rooms, the training table, the press room, go inside The Ford Center, etc. When your tour doesn't coincide with practice, you get to go out on the practice field.
I've been to other teams practice facilities and all I could think about is how veteran players who join the Cowboys later in their careers must feel going from that private, closed environment to this.
I was disappointed by the team store, expected more. You can buy Rangers, TCU, UT, Oklahoma, A&M, etc stuff in there as well.
Rickles was the best. With all the PC today, Rickles would have never had a career. He was an equal opportunity insulter.What is he, Don Rickles?
Haley is Mike Tyson type crazy too. Never know when people like that will snap.I loved Haley when he played... but he is crraaazzzzzyyyyy.
He told a man with a deformity that he was "funny looking" and said something about too many white people being in the building. He was trying to be funny and I know he has a history of not having a filter, so I wasn't offended but some people where visibly shook.
Are you sure it was Zeke and not Looney? Lol.
Yeah- it could have been worse with Haley- at least he had clothes on. Remember the crazy story about him at Valley Ranch back in the early 90s where he showed up for one of Jimmy’s team meetings totally naked?Good thing Haley didn't pee on anyone.

I disagree. Rickles had a ridiculous genius delivery that would cut to the bone without any intertwining malice. Much of his routine was his facial control. He kept an unbreakable looking sneer throughout all his jokes.Rickles was the best. With all the PC today, Rickles would have never had a career. He was an equal opportunity insulter.
