Are you ready for some football?

Jordan has been warning me for the last couple of weeks that football season is coming up and has even graciously given me the reign of the remote control.....knowing that he will demand football be shown at all hours around here very soon.

I have to say that I am lucky because I do not have one of those husbands that leaves the TV on ESPN for the sake of it being on ESPN. I do not have to watch bowling championships, poker tournaments, NASCAR (not a fan), or golf (sorry Evan, I don't know how Christy does it!); but when it comes to Football season, we are always watching someone play!

Well, we are quickly figuring out in Texas that we will not be the only ones obsessing about the pigskin sport this season! All the paper talks about is High School Football and the COWBOYS!

Lucky for us, Thursday night the Dallas Cowboys hosted an open practice and we drove over to Arlington with Hal (one of Jordan's residency friends)---we missed you Sarah!

It was so neat to see the new stadiumThe new $1.2 billion stadium-yes it looks like it is about to take off at any minute!


This is the view when you walk in from the end zone.....it's so open!


The field, check out the obnoxiously large screen, you can really see the scale of it in this picture

Let's face it...the whole reason I wanted to go....Tony! ; )

And just when I thought my evening was complete, guess who came out for a little performance....

Yes, the Dallas Cheerleaders!
We also saw Jerry Jones but he tucked away before I could take his picture, he came out to see the girls dance!

Going to the practice was free (just had to pay for parking), so I thought it was a great way for people who cannot normally pay to go to a game to check things out!

Now, are you ready for some football?
