America's Team

While in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, we toured the new Cowboy stadium with Gaga and Papa, now assuming the role of playing a tourist.  It was a neat experience and the statistics on everything that went into the stadium were astounding (Cowboy Stadium), as well as being able to get a behind-the-scenes tour and seeing all the nuances.  The tour started from the Pro Shop and began with an introduction sitting in the bleacher seats with numerous statistics before we were allowed to start walking through the various places with our escort.

Then, we went around the stadium for more of the tour where we able to see a brief glimpse of Texas Stadium in Irving from the new Cowboy Stadium in Arlington.  It was surreal to see the white dome between the Titan roller coaster ride at Six Flags over Texas and the Ballpark at Arlington where the Texas Rangers play before it was imploded on Easter Sunday.

We then proceeded down to the bottom where we toured the football players locker room and then were allowed access to the football field -- very cool.  We were able to run, take pictures, throw a football, etc. on the field before being shown the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader's locker room which was Ashley's favorite part of the tour.  Papa even struck a pose of one of the cheerleaders, though he was not able to fully mimic it, though he did attempt to.
