An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
A Last Goodbye
It’s a time for goodbyes at Texas Stadium for Dallas Cowboys
On the surface, tonight’s final regular-season game at Texas Stadium seems all wrong. The setup doesn’t do the place justice.
For 37 years, Cowboys football has been a Sunday affair. Whenever the Giants, Redskins and Eagles were in town, you knew it was a big game. Fans all over the country tuned in to see America’s Team and the stadium with the hole in the roof.
Instead, the Cowboys will close the iconic building against the Ravens, a franchise that’s never played at Texas Stadium.
I honestly don’t remember the first time I went to a game at Texas Stadium. I think it was before my dad died, and that was in 1980. Oh hell, was it 81? Criminy, getting old sucks.
It was a Thanksgiving Day game against the Washington Redskins, and my brother in law was a big Redskin fan. I remember he didn’t spend much time actually watching the game. Instead, he had his binoculars focused on the sidelines. Can’t imagine why? Hmmm….
I’ve been out there a few times since over the years. One memorable one was when the brat won tickets, and she opted to take me with her. Bless her heart. Of course, I had to drive up from Houston, but hey…who cares, right?
At one point I learned my cousin had a box there, but had sold it because no one ever seemed to want to go. Evidently, he asked the WRONG people. Pfft! Silly man! I would have been more than happy to make use of it…..NO problem.
Ick and I took the kids out there for the tour last year, which was quite impressive. Unfortunately, I can’t find the post with the pictures, so you’ll just have to take my word for it. 
Tonight, Ick, Brat, Short Person, the Mr and I, and a few other folks will be heading to the very last game at Texas Stadium. We’re doing it up right….riding in a slut mobile with a pole. sigh… I hope I’ll have a few pictures to share tomorrow, but NO Chris, there will NOT be one of me on the pole….unless it’s me holding on for dear life!
Needless to say, there won’t be any “Saturday Afternoon Laundry Time” today. Maybe tomorrow? With no laundry. Hey….we just got here….not that much laundry to deal with yet. 
*EDIT* Ick to the rescue! Pictures confirming the Ol’ Broad was drug on the Texas Staidum Tour with us last year!
