Cowboys Stadium

During our Christmas trip to Dallas this year, we took a guided tour of the Cowboys new stadium. Although not everyone in the family are huge Cowboy fans, we all had a great time and were truly impressed.
The girls loved the colored fountains in one of the "standing only" sections, and somehow they were able to resist the temptation of climbing in.

The retractable ceiling was closed when we there, and it was hard to imagine that such a large ceiling could actually open up.
The biggest LCD screen in the world was indeed huge.


Our favorite part of the tour was the football field itself. We all had a great time running around...



...and practicing our touchdown celebrations.




We ended the tour in the locker room. They had Tony Romo and Miles Austin's helmet and uniforms available to try on.
Since I'm a sucker for blue eyes, I walked right past Romo's locker.
Our tour guide told us that someone reserved the locker room for their fantasy football draft last year and I've never seen Will's eyes get so wide. I have feeling I know what he's going to be asking for his birthday next Fall!
