Texas Stadium

I miss the old Texas Stadium. I think the new one is a tad overkill. It's sort of flaunting how big the Dallas Cowboys' budget is. A huge, and I mean HUGE screen hangs above center field (which, by the way, cost like $60 million...the stadium cost $1.2 billion), and in addition to cheerleaders, there are dancers on platforms in the stands. I miss the old one. It was more modest, and original, and I have these memories of going there for the first time when I was 10, and being awed by its glory, and again when I was 19, yet again appreciating how glorious it was, this home of my family's beloved team. And, when some players during practice and pre-season had gone to punt the ball and it hit the ridiculous screen, Jerry Jones refused to raise the screen. Not cool, Jones. So I guess it's not a tad overkill, it's REALLY overkill and I miss the old ways. It's like it's not about football anymore, but how cool the stadium is. More about the show, less about the game.

RIP old Texas Stadium....you are missed.
