So we went to the Eagles vs. Cowboys Game...

And of course it was an AWESOME experience. The very first playoff in Cowboy's Stadium, and we were part of the 92,951 record setting crowd. Along for the ride were Former President Bush, Laura Bush, and Emmit Smith, just to drop a few names. We had amazing seats in the lower level end zone, so I had the opportunity to declare my love for Miles Austin as he warmed up before the game.

A few things I learned and a few I still question...

How long does it take to clean up all of the pink puke? They serve 15 dollar mixed drinks in a very nice Dallas Cowboys glass. But everywhere you walk you see splatterings of where the chic in stilettos had one too many. Which leads me to my next pondering.

Why on earth would you wear stilettos to a football game? Really? Do you think Miles is gonna see your toes and come running? There are stairs EVERYWHERE, not to mention the walk up to the stadium. But I suppose if you've had enough of the pink stuff or the $8.50 Miller Lites the feet feel no pain.

I also learned through the guys sitting a row ahead of us that if you tip the beer guy 2 bucks with every beer you buy, he's sure to stick close by. Because you know of course that box of beer loaded with that ice gets heavy. So taking a break right behind the big tipping drunks only makes sense. Said drunks were extremely close to having an escort of their own for harassing the Eagles fan. And of course the typical question, "What did I do?"

Now as a Cowboys fan, there is NO WAY I would go into hostile territory all decked out in my Cowboys gear. At least if I did, I don't think I would expect anything less than harassment. And if I choose to get stupid and mouthy with the home teams fans, I would expect no less than 5 security guards and the local police department to escort my butt out, right along with the other 4 friends who were causing trouble with me. I would also curse the fans the entire time we are being escorted out.

Of course, I found out by experience that if you happen to take your ticket with you to the bathroom, and leave it sitting on the toilet paper holder, then by all means the chic in stilettos who's been drinking too many pink drinks will choose that exact stall to die in. Okay, so she didn't die, but I'm guessing she wished she had from the pink puke. Thankfully for her (really me) her girlfriends came to her rescue, and I was able to get my ticket back. Is it wrong that I laughed a little that her girlfriends were in the bathroom with the camera? :o

So all in all, it was one of the most awesome experiences as a Cowboys fan. We had been at the last playoff win against the Eagles in '96, so it was only fitting we went this time.

$284 for two seats in section 122.
$27.80 for parking with a shuttle to and from the stadium.
Seeing the Cowboys beat the Eagles, and getting to sing "Hey, hey, hey...Goodbye" with close to 100,000 other fans. PRICELESS!
