People were just packing in and being very rude, so Delvin said either he will get tired of me up against his butt, or he will move. It took a long time for this guy to move, BUT Delvin finally got some os his space back

I just now got to doing this post. Poor Hunter baby has a double ear infection and upper respiratory infection

Jason came to visit last sunday and stay a few days with us. He asked us about going to the Cowboys first game about a month ago, and we were up to going-so he ordered the tickets and we got party deck pass tickets. We werent sure what this meant, we just knew that we would be there. So a few days before the game, Jason gets an email saying they will be standing seats, so ok, it wont be that bad, lets just do it. We were so excited...got there early-so we thought! about 3-4 hrs before kick off. Parking was HORRIBLE. YOu have to expect that, but it was worse then we thought. Not just the distance we had to park from the stadium but the prices. So we thought 30 bucks for a ticket wasnt so bad, but 50 bucks to park! OMG. And that was still far away, we could have been close for 100! So we walk all the way to the stadium(I think my house is closer then the walk from where we parked!) We could only go in 1 entrance. We get in and we have to keep moving upstairs because there was no where to stand, and there were signs that you had to be behind the poles or move to a deck or outside. So anyway we get up to a big deck and decide ok this is where we are going to stay, we found a table and claimed it early since it was already packed. That was OUR table. We take turns goign to get food which was $$$$ and water for 5 bucks! Ouch! anyway we get set in our spot and it felt like 10 hours before kick off. They made this big deal about the roof opening and it took a LONG time to open! Plus when the roof opens, the sides open to the decks, it was so hot. but anyhow as it got near kick off, we got overwhelmed with people. People just kept packing in and I was feeling so violated. So we decided 1st quarter we would go outside because it would probably be cooler and alot more space. Plus Delvin got into it with this arrogant guy who was running his mouth and pushing us and then Jason finished it! I also got tired of the 2 couples next to me getting it on! And really got tired of feeling like I was at a club. I was there to watch a football game not pole dancers and I coudlnt see the field or the big tvs!
Anyway we go outside find a place to park our bottoms and it was very packed out there too, but at least it was cooler. However----we didnt see the game because the tvs were showing what we could see at home on our own tv...but people at home saw more than we did! We saw every commercial, but when it came to goign back to the game....it kept freezing up and then be back up in time for commercials. And I am sorry but when you pay to get in the game and they wont let you inside because they are at capacity...they better show the same thing you would see on the tvs inside. And they better get some restrooms out there. Once we were outside we couldnt go back in..RIDICULOUS. So we left at half time to beat the rush of people and traffic and I think it was the best idea. But there were alot of people leaving at that point as well. They better do something about the party pass....like put seats in there. lol. They had a lounge couch but people dont like to sit like sardines and it could fit about 20 people. You couldnt take a break and sit along the side somewhre because it was a fire hazard! WHAT? I would think as many people as were packed in there woudl have been a fire hazard! BUT we left there feeling good about a few things, 1...we were there for the first game of the season in the new stadium. 2. we lived and learned and know for next time. But I think it will be a good few yrs before we head back to the stadium! We left there and got some fuzzy tacos...YUMMMY!
Monday we got up and I ran to get Hunter and run some errands but came back and we were bums until night time-we had family over and cooked on the grill. And I must say, IT WAS AWESOME! I have never had squash and we had butternut and acorn squash. So good. So anyway, we had a great visit cant wait to see Jason again and hopefully Kristen can make it next time too!!!

Here are a few pics I wanted to share of the stadium and our experience!
