Today we watched our last Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game at Texas Stadium. For the past several years, Marc and I have always gone to the game, thanks to Marc's dad and stepmom. Because of those games, I've grown to love football and the Dallas Cowboys. Some would say that I'm obsessed! When I bought my CR-V in December of last year, I insisted on having one that was "Cowboys Blue." How crazy is that?
Today's game was awesome! It was a packed house, as usual, but there was a feel of excitement, along with some sadness, in the air. Because seats at the new stadium will be so expensive, many people are opting out of purchasing season tickets for next year. Some say that Jerry Jones has overpriced the average fan and is going for a more corporate feel. Who knows what will happen, but many fans were sad that their Thanksgiving Day tradition was dying. So sad.
We got to the stadium really early, as we usually do. I always like this part, because it gives us a chance to see the players warm up before the game. I was able to get some awesome pictures with my new camera!
The view from our seats
Tony Romo and Terrell Owens
Jason Witten
Marion Barber
The best picture...oh yeah!
This is a televised game?
T.O. goofing around on the sidelines
Jason Witten is so awesome he gets telephone calls on the sideline...just kidding!
Another good shot of Witten
There was one very strange fan sitting in front of us. She started out looking pretty normal, until she donned the helmet. Then, every time there was a good play, she would start banging on the helmet. And finally, she put on the blue hair. What's really funny is that she was completely sober!
Again, we had so much fun! Hopefully we'll be able to go to more Thanksgiving Day games in the future. But if we don't, this was a great farewell game!
