Texas Stadium Knowledge

Before the Cowboy game last week, we hadn't been there for 10 years so it was like looking through new eyes. So, here are some things to know for the next time you go to Texas Stadium.

1. The floor hasn't been washed off in YEARS and it is very sticky. I recommend tennis shoes and don't bring anything you may have to set down like a purse or bag. Gross!

2. Again, wear tennis shoes or comfy walking shoes. It's a lot of walking around - but worth it!

3. If you are attending a game, go early and plan to stay late. Go early so you can enjoy walking around, you may luck into seeing some players like we did and it's fun to watch people and the pre game stuff. Also, stay late - there is no reason to run to your car and get in to sit there for 2 hours.

4. Be prepared to deal with obnoxious people that have consumed too many beers.

5. Try not to drink too much - you do not want to have to use the bathrooms there! Also we noticed that the bathroom line was twice as long for guys.

6. They only serve Pepsi products. (I'm a coke person).

7. Bring binoculars - no matter where you sit, there are things on the other side of the stadium to see.

8. In the winter - wear layers. Texas Stadium is designed well with the shelter but open air. That means that you are protected from the elements but you still get the cold air. In the summer, you will just have to sweat.


Okay - hope that helps you for the next time you prepare to visit Texas Stadium. The 2008 season is the last one to catch a game there. After that, be prepared to shell out the big bucks for a seat in the new stadium - you know, because Jerry cares about "the fans."
