New Stadium Pics

Left on vacation last week and the first stop was 6 Flags in Arlington. We got our first true look at the new stadium...WOW! All I could do was drop my jaw and stare and try not to run into the car in front of me. Took these pics while my wife held the steering wheel. Click on the links for the hi rez images.

Just incredible.

It kind of looks like the top of the Cowboys’ helmets from some views.

very nice Nate

At least this stadium will be much more accessible than Texas Stadium, those highways around TS are crazy!

In Romo we Trust

I dont know about that

There are only two highways even near the new stadium right now. And those highways are several blocks away. They are supposed to, eventually, add/improve some more major roads around the stadium though. But thats a few years away still. Everyone is saying that right now it’s going to be a major headache getting into and out of the stadium.

The greatest two yard run ever!

traffic

Traffic will be a mess for the first few years. Highway 360 and Interstate 30 are not ready to handle the load on game days. They are expanding 30 but I don’t think it will be ready in time for the first season. Heaven forbid they have a Ranger and a Cowboy game on the same day.

Signature! I don't need no stinking signature!!

161

161 is being extended all the way to i20. It’s supposed to be connected to i30 by Jan ‘09, so that should help quite a bit.

its a BAD A$$ stadium, cant wait to see a game there, hopefully we can hang a new SB banner up when it opens.
you got too know the backroads to get through the traffic.

Kickin'

I’ll probably get to see an Aggie game there before a Cowboy game, but still can’t wait.

In the area quite often...

have caught a lot of rangers games this season, and even decided to take a look at the less accessible side of the stadium. lemme tell u that the south side of the stadium(opposite interstate 30) looks almost like a finished product. I wonder about that wal-mart on the north side(literally walk in, grab diapers, walk across the street and watch romo hit T.O. for 6), gives an interesting impression of our fair burg. accessibility will be interesting as they are already working on the ballpark way exit off of 30. as for me, i can hit randoll mill and get to the new digs with out ever getting on the highway…. tha shiz-nizzle my dizzle!
