that was the day after Christmas.
That was a great trip... Got to see a 4d ultrasound of my little girl, watched a live game with my younger brother (big Cowboy fan too) and to top it off the Cowboys pulled out a W.....

for me, the two most exciting Cowboysd games that I have attended were the 1983 Cowboys Commanders game in RFK (monday night) and the 1999 cowboys Commanders game (monday night).
In 1983 when I was in high school I got a job as a coke vendor at RFK so I could see the Cowboys play live. vendors were paid straight commision so it was up to the vendor if they wanted to work and how hard they worked. I worked every game but the Dallas game.
In that game, we were trailing at half time by 20 points (23-3). We were getting dominated in every aspect of the game. the crowd was loud and they were stomping on those aluminum bleachers which made the noise even worse. I had on my cowboys hat and shirt for the game and was getting alot of abuse from the fans. In the 3rd qtr we started our comeback. Danny white connected with tony Hill for two TDs and Dorsett ran all over them.
As the game was winding down things got really crazy in the stands. I was celebrating in the endzone seating section when all of sudden a 300 lb drunk skins fan walked up to me and pushed me and screamed "boy, I'm gonna kick your *ss on national TV" as he pointed to the good year blimp. Needless to say I was terrified. I was only 15 at the time and was as big as pencil and as I looked around fights were breaking out everywhere. An older skins couple called security on the guy when they saw what was getting ready to happen and they called me up to sit with them since most of the fans had left. The worst part was my mom would pick me up after the game at the entrance of the parking area. I had bought a cowboys pendant at the game to hang on my wall and I had to walk clear across the parking lot by myself with all of my cowboys gear. I thought I was gonna get jumped before I made it to the other side.
Despite that it was the greatest feeling to see my Cowboys comeback in skins territory and the fans go from excitment and celebration to pur disbelief and anger.
Of course most of you remember the 1999 game when Aikman connected threw 5 TD passes including the game winner to Ismail in OT. The excitment of seeing the skins fans change was unbeleivable. The crowd at Fed-ex was nothing like RFK and there were so many cowboy fans at that game that you could celebrate afterwards without fear. I remember listening to the sports radio on the drive home and yelling at all the skins fans along the way.
