Arlington Cowboys Stadium: New Standards in Extravagance

i beg to differ

 

I don't. People aren't going to continue to spend extravagantly on sports stadiums. They stopped building Collesiums in Roman Empire after a point.

 

I don't know what a "Collesium" is.

 

An obelisk? Really?

 

An uncreative, uninspiring rectangle... not obelisk in the literal egyptian definition.

 

Apparently it's pretty hard to crack the Top 7.

 

That's what SHE said.

 

$29 is for standing room only tickets. I think the cheapest seat ticket is $75...not so cheap for seat on the top row.

 

He is not the 9th wonder.

 

Actually the cheapest seat is 59 dollars but good luck getting one. There were some available on sale for the Titans game though.

I took a tour of the place a few weeks ago and there is not a bad seat in the house. There are large flat screen TV's all over the place and on good days Jerry is planning on opening the Giant Glass Endzone Doors so there will be access to the outside as well where he is talking about having a beer garden and gaint screen tv's. The three decks decks behind each endzone are huge so there should be plenty of room. I think there will be a lot of people buying the party passes every Sunday. If you love the NFL then 29 dollars a ticket is good regardless if you have a seat or not. The view from all three decks are good.

 

Man.. sure seems like a whole lot of money for a building the primary purpose of which is for folks to watch just 8 home games (and, if they are lucky, for them to watch Tony Romo choke during one more playoff game).

 

Skip to 1:53...

Did she say it's 60 yards long... 120 feet?

 

hahaha cowboys stadium sucks

 

Bwa-hahahahaha... 120 feet != 60 yards.
LOL! RF ID bracelets "so the kid can be found if separated"... Catering to the lazy, inattentive parent... I love it...

 

Well, I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, we usually didn't sit down with the parents, we ran around and got lost or returned late many a time... well, at least until we got in trouble for it and learned better. And there wasn't jack to do but get into trouble back then.

Yeah, times are different now though. I think.

 

Thats hilarious. I cant wait for a superbowl there and just a row of people like wtf.

 

WOW! I would HATE to be the sucker who buys those TERRIBLE excuses of seats!

 

I was going to ask if they actually sell those seats, but I assume that of course they do... They don't sell those for regular price though right? That's just awful.


The stadium is beautiful however, I went to the Paul McCartney concert and sat on the floor right underneath that monster. It's just too bright to turn on the whole show but when they flipped it on for "The End" it was pretty impressive.

 

That's Jerry Jones in a nutshell.
