So it looks like you had seats near the endzone, how did you get the good seats.  I paid for some pregame passes to an Astros game and was on the field during bp, but there where no great seats for the game.  I'm guessing you got something similar - they give you a tour of the stadium and such.

Front row, end one. We paid dearly for these way back in July with NFL Ticket Exchange and Ticketmaster. We went on the self guide tour on Saturday (17.00), the VIP's were sold out and I don't think Jerry Jones gives you anything. Plus, a double vodka water, twenty bills. Gotta pay for that sucker somehow.

That is the most un-football looking stadium I have ever seen.  What is wrong with classic Lambough Field type facilities? I love that look way better than this Area 51 type building they built for the Cowboys.

Yea it looks like an arena on roids.

Yeah we need more dumps in pro football like Qualcomm. Lets go old school with those girders that blocked the view of fans (like old Baltimore Memorial Stadium), bleacher seating, and crappy scoreboards.  ::)

Im personally not against the domes. However, I think they should be retractable and only used if there is bad weather (rain, snow,etc) and maybe on occasion in the heat of the summer. Because we all know how hot our home games got this year. A dome what have been nice on those days.

Football should be played in the elements. I hate domed stadiums!

Yall know that Cowboys Stadium has a retractable roof just like Reliant Stadium, Univ of Phoenix Stadium etc, opposed to permanently domed stadiums like the Superdome, the Georgiadome, Metrodome (MOA) etc.

But the way is looks its not completely retractable. At the most, it will just let some sunlight in. (from what Ive seen on the pics, I could be wrong)

I'd rather be there then in some spaceship night club while there is supposedly a football game being played.

As if the NFL is expensive enough... you build a stadium like this & charge $90K for a PSL and you price just about every average American out of the sport.

Maybe bring some headphones and glow sticks to Everbank if you need trance music during the game.

If I had to guess I'd say roughly whatever you see above the playing field, of course I could be wrong. LOL. That stadium looks excellent. I dunno if the Super Bowl in any other city will ever have the state of the art enviornment that Cowboys Stadium provides atleast in the near future. Good look for whoever hosts the SB after Dallas.

I find it interesting that Dapperdan mentioned "classic Lambeau type facilities". If you put Lambeau Field in any city outside of Green Bay and it would be considered a dump, but since GB has "the ghost of Lombardi", "the frozen tundra", a great history and great fans, it's cool. Lambeau is definitely a special case, and shouldn't be the "water mark" NFL stadium in the 21st century . I personally think that it's a dump with that bleacher seating, but everyone seem to like it or whatever, because of history and crap. If Jax played in a replica of Lambeau, the Jags would get contracted. LOL

I'll be in that spaceship enjoying the game looking up in awe of that giant Mitsubishi Electric screen. Now the ticket prices are a whole other issue. :)

You wanna go to the stadium to watch it on TV :D

This is not a stadium, it's a mall. How depressing to sit in that for four hours every Sunday. Three cheers for open air stadiums: wind, rain, sun! Stupid Cowboys--glad we thrashed 'em.

Looks nice, but I love the outdoor stadiums.

Yeah, i'm not really sure why they did not open the roof. It was pretty nice out side.

You would be in the minority... Lambeau is state of the art and is utilized 24/7/365.  It hosts weddings, banquets, tradeshows, conventions, conferences, meetings and special events.
