I wonder when the next batch of new stadium photos are going to be uploaded onto Cowboys.com

Who is that hottie sitting down?

Here are some pics a friend of mine got to drive by and get some.

These are live construction web cams you can see up to the minute progress

It looks like a big Texas Taco!!!  When they put the Cowboys in there as meat, mmmmmm, mmmmmm!!!

Please don't eat it. It costs so much.  

cant wait to see it finished.

but i agree, the ticket prices the way they are how do they expect ppl who arent millionaires to buy tickets????

Actually, my seats at the new stadium are cheaper than the ones I have at Texas Stadium!!!  My new seats are in section 407, row 15, seats 1 & 2 (the row starts at 9).  There is no seat option required and they are costing $590 each for season tickets.  My seats at Texas stadium cost me $695 each. 

If you know where to look, you can get a good deal.

It's not the ticket prices that have gone up, they are actually not bad (except the club seat prices at $340, but you'd need to buy the club PSLs for them first anyway which are insanely expensive).  It's the PSLs that have some up and arms.  While the PSLs are not as bad as what many were anticipating, many did not want to have to pay for PSLs just to have the right to buy season tickets.  The majority of the PSLs range between $4000-$5000 (some even $12,000), and depending on how many seats you had and were allocated or how many you want, it can get very expensive.  There are some PSLs in the $2000s and other areas that do not even require a PSL at all (like where Gabacho was allocated), but those areas may be limited to allocations and all are in the upper level.  So, depending on how you feel about sitting up in the upper level is a choice you'll have to make. 

The prices of all PSLs certainly reflect and determine the seat you have in the stadium.  A $5000 PSL will get you a PSL in the lower bowl.  A $4000 PSL will get you an endzone seat or the lower lodge of the non PSL seating.  $12000 PSLs will get you the Club type seats of the upper level w/out club amenities, and $2000-5000 PSL will secure you spots in the upper level accordingly.  Click the link below to see the interactive map.

Overall, the prices really haven't changed much BUT that isn't to say they'll increase the prices in a few years time.  Perhaps they kept the prices the same initially to lock everyone in and plan to significantly raise the prices later on, knowing that everyone who bought a PSL or more is locked in for 30 years and would lose those  PSLs if they decided to no longer pay for the outrageous season ticket amounts.  Unfortunately, I can see that happening.  Good thing for folks like Gabacho and everyone else with non PSL seats, because should that ever come to pass, they can easily opt out of their season tickets without penalty. 

Worker dies at Cowboys stadium construction site

 http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Ak3VbkPis4UJP3P_6pRfmpRDubYF?slug=ap-stadiumdeath&prov=ap&type=lgns

DALLAS (AP)—An electrician working at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium died Saturday when he touched a high-voltage line, the second serious accident at the construction site in less than a week.

The man was standing on a ladder and performing an electrical test when he touched the power line, said Neal Strasser, a battalion chief with the Arlington Fire Department.

The man became wedged between the ladder and the stadium wall. A co-worker carried him to the ground and tried to revive him, Strasser said.

I called the number below to specifically request the section and was told that they had already done that for me (I'm a season ticket holder).  They are really helpful there.

As far as being up in the nose bleed section, there is supposed to be a huge screen also.  For alot of us, it's the tailgaitng that's what's fun, the whole atmosphere and energy.  That first preseason game at the new stadium, I'll be there as soon as the lots open firing my BBQ up and cracking a few open!!!

Any news on the naming rights yet?
