Today, Bob and I went to the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, Texas, just outside of Dallas. We got our tickets from Groupons. This is a site Heather introduced us to that has special coupons every day. You select the city where you are, which is especially good for full-timers and see what is on special that day. A few days ago, you could get VIP Tickets to tour the Dallas Cowboy Stadium for $15.00 each, usually they are $27.50. The tickets are good till Dec. 31st.
The stadium opens at 10:00 a.m. and you start your tour at the Pro Shop at Gate 1. We got there about 10:45 a.m. and our tour started at 11:30 a.m. We first learned a little history of the stadium and it is the largest everything, including it's 7 story HD television. We got to tour the suites, press box, Cotton Bowl offices, cowboy's locker room, cheerleaders locker room, cowboy's interview room and went on to the field. Tony Roma's locker is pictured above. Lots of people were taking pictures of it and trying of his uniform, helmet and shoes.The cheerleaders' lockers room was similar to the teams' locker room but had more mirrors.
At the top of the stadium, Dr. Pepper has a section where for $30 you can stand and watch the games. It had a few coaches and a food section and a beautiful view of the Ranger Stadium. On the left is a picture of the Dr. Pepper"s end zone area and on the left is a view of the field from there.
For a little more more money you could get a field level suite. They couldn't even quote us a price for that as it depends on the contract you sign. It could be for 10, 15 or 20 years and the closer to the 50 yard line the more the suite costs. I am pretty sure it is more than $30 a game. The tour was about an hour and half ending with us getting our picture on the Dallas star, for free if you were on the VIP tour. There was a self-guided tour available also for $17.50 and you could get a discount on it also.
