Dallas Cowboys

ON SUNDAY NIGHT THE WORLD AS YOU KNOW IT…IS ABOUT TO CHANGE…
THE DALLAS COWBOYS WILL PLAY THEIR HOME OPENER IN THE BRAND NEW…”COWBOYS STADIUM”…
OVER 100 THOUSAND FANS ARE EXPECTED TO WATCH THE COWBOYS AND THE NEW YORK GIANTS…
AT A PRICE OF $1.2 BILLION DOLLARS IT IS THE LARGEST DOMED STADIUM IN THE WORLD…
BUT THAT IS JUST THE PART OF THE STORY…
THE STADIUM HAS THE WORLD LARGEST VIDEO SCREEN THAT HANGS OVER THE FIELD…
ITS 160…BY…72 FEET…AND ITS ALL IN HI-DEF…
WHEN IT COMES TO THE “WOW” FACTOR…
THIS ONE IS RIGHT OFF THE CHARTS…
AND IT ALSO MAKES A GREAT TARGET FOR EVERY PUNTER IN THE NFL…
NOW GET THIS…
THE IDEA OF THE GIANT VIDEO SCREEN…CAME TO OWNER JERRY JONES WHEN HE WAS IN LAS VEGAS…
JONES WAS AT A CELINE DION CONCERT AT CAESARS PALACE…AND COULD NOT TAKE HIS EYES OFF THE VIDEO BOARD HANGING OVER THE STAGE…
THEN THERE’S THE MILLER LITE CLUB…WHICH IS FULL OF DRUNK AND SCREAMING FANS…
THE PLAYERS ACTUALLY HAVE TO WALK THROUGH THE BAR ON THEIR WAY TO…AND BACK FROM…THE FIELD…
BUT ALL THIS LUXERY DOES COME AT A PRICE…
TO BECOME A SEASON TICKET HOLDER A FAN MUST FIRST BUY HIS SEAT…
EACH SELLS FOR $5,000…
THEN THERE’S ANOTHER $100 FOR EACH AND EVERY GAME…
AND OF COURSE…THERE’S PARKING…
THAT GOES FOR $60 DOLLARS PER GAME…
SO A PAIR OF SEASON TICKETS THIS YEAR WILL SET YOU BACK…A COOL $12 THOUSAND DOLLARS…
AND THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE REFRESHMENTS…
PIZZA SELLS FOR $60 DOLLARS…
AND BEER GOES FOR $8 DOLLARS A POP…
THERE IS A CHEAPER WAY TO GO…
IT’S CALLED “THE PARTY PASS”…AND IT SELLS FOR JUST $29 DOLLARS…
BUT THAT ONLY GET’S YOU STANDING ROOM…
SO FAR THE COWBOYS HAVE SOLD 20 THOUSAND OF THOSE PASSES…FOR SUNDAY NIGHTS GAME…
ADD IT ALL UP…
THE COWBOYS ARE DOING ALRIGHT…
ESPECIALLY FOR A TEAM THAT HAS NOT WON A PLAYOFF GAME IN 13 YEARS…
