NFL: Farewell Texas Stadium

1971-2008
The sun has finally set on the long time home of the Dallas Cowboys.
May their future shine bright in their new home in Arlington.
It's been a good ride.

Music:
"My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" by Willie Nelson
"I'd Rather Be A Cowboy" by John Denver
"Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" by Willie Nelson

4:50 - WTF!! It clearly says "World Championship Game" - but this is a US domestic league. Sure, no one else plays the sport or even watches it outside of the US, but calling it a World Championship is hilarious.

Would love to hear the reasoning behind that.

@Tim733733 No real reasoning at all. It's just a part of the natural arrogance of America. It gets even worse in Texas. :)

Great vid, I was there for the first game in 71 and I was there for the last game last season. I never missed a game. I cried when they lost SB V when I was7 and climbed a tree in my front yard and screamed for hours that the Cowboys were Champs the following year in SB VI.

I am now a season ticket holder in the new stadium., they won the SB the first year of Texas Stadium and I believe we can win it this year, our first year it Cowboys Stadium.

Wow, that's quite a testimony!

Whatever it takes, I've GOT to be at the game when the Cowboys go back to the SUPER BOWL!!!

Can't wait!

Daniel, you're a beautiful man/human being! You gave the ol' girl the proper send off she deserved. Sorry I couldn't give you this in a direct post, but i'm drunk and nostalgic right now so the best i could do was post this off some dumb-assess reply! God speed, Daniel! You're a true LEO.. a great, competent, true leader. And this Gemini/Cowboys Freak respects you!

Did someone come here for NFL?

P:S: is the T.R.U.T.H. HQ in texas?

[marquettefootball]

I was impressed...until I saw the photo of Chan Gailey. Ugh. Sorry you had to live through that.

@Tim733733 I'm glad you liked the super bowl. Its a HUGE deal in America and that pretty much as far as it goes I know some people from Canada who watch it. Football (soccer) isn't really a big deal here. Also we call the team that win the World Series (baseball), and the Stanley Cup (hockey) World Champs.

[Tim733733]

@JBisMYmainSQUEEZE Ha, I had checked since that post seven months ago. It is only NFL that does it. No biggy, I see the Superbowl got 112 million viewers, which is a bit poor. The weekend's Manchester United vs Manchester City match (regular season game) got 1.4 billion.

PS I did watch the superbowl (had to watch it online as it wasn't shown on TV) and it was pretty good! I'm not sure why it's so unpopular overseas. Maybe cause of Rugby's secondary domince to football (soccer), but it was good

[JBisMYmainSQUEEZE]

@Tim733733 haha calm down they say that for a lot of sports.
