last week, i took a tour of the insanely-expensive-awesomeness that is called...
the new Cowboys Stadium!!
the tour started by sitting in the stands to have a nice, long look around...
but mostly, i spent that time drooling over the size of the biggest tv in the world!!
the tv extends from the 20 yard line to the 20 yard line... and is 7 stories high!
there are even 2 elevators in that huge thing!

there are HUGE sliding doors on opposite sides... the picture below shows one side.
these doors have to be opened at the EXACT same time...
if they aren't opened at the EXACT same time, the pressure will shatter all of the glass in the stadium.

the roof also opens... see the shadows of the guys working up there?
next stop, we got to see the view from...
this is the view from one of the suites...
also from this view, you can see jerry's personal suite...
it is just below the 2nd row of seats - in the picture, it looks like a thick black line - which is actually the windows...
his suite... extends from goal line to goal line!
this is the view through the other sliding doors... you can see six flags, rangers stadium, and downtown dallas
from that same spot, i turned around to take this picture looking long-ways through the stadium
since they were doing maintenance on the stadium, they had rolled up the terf.
that white speaker hanging from the ceiling... its the length of a semi-truck
and of course, what would the tour be without a stop in the cowboys locker room!
the lockers of my two favorite players...
and we did get a tour of the cheerleaders locker room too... not cool enough on the inside though to get pictures posted here.
although, the hallway entering their locker room was floor-to-ceiling mirrors... not surprising...
all in all, the tour was awesome!
for only $17, i learned a lot about the stadium that you'd never know just going to a game.
my family and friends (thanks steph!) will be at the new stadium soon...
