Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys (for you RHOKers and Canadians) called me and said “Dang Yogi, when you going to come down and blog about my new football stadium? I mean cmon son, I look at your blog every day and I’ve had my fill of the sunsets, movies, books, and your son eating pizza. You need to talk more about football! Especially mah football team.” He just begged and begged and so I said alright I’ll be down. He said that he had a surprise for me. Sweetie even agreed to go with me.
Jerry did right by putting a statue of Tom Landry out front.
Of course, right after Jerry bought the Cowboys he fired Tom Landry. But hey, that’s football.
I couldn’t get a decent shot of the outside of the stadium. I searched and searched on google and flickr but the structure is so huge and so hulking it’s hard to get a good image of it. The show is on the inside.
Jerry just couldn’t quit talking about his huge digital televisions over the field.
One person I know that has attended games there talks about “retina burn” because the screen is so bright and sharp. I’m just glad that the Cowboys had a halfway decent season last year. Jerry’s video presentation of the mid 1990’s team was getting a little stale. I didn’t tell Jerry that.
Sweetie was not very impressed but she was a good sport.
And then we down on the field
And then he said to go try out the bench. I know all about benches. I got real acquainted with them during my brief stints in sports. I’m an expert on benches.
You know I think for $1.3 billion he could have made softer benches.
I then I went and got near the Star in the end zone.
And then I got my picture with a couple of cheerleaders.
You know Jerry they are very cute but they look a little malnourished. You need to pay them a little more so they can eat. Plus the uniforms look like they were made about three sizes too small. Budget a little more material for the uniforms. And Jerry, I never did get my photo dangit!!
And then Jerry said, “Hey lets check out the girl’s locker room.” I said “you sure?” He said, I own this place Yogi, I go wherever I want whenever I want.” OK, lets go Jerry.
It’s pretty nice, its decorated in Cowboy blue and Cheerleader pink.
Then we went to the football player locker room.
No cheerleader pink here.
And then he showed my surprise. My very own locker!
So I’ll be blogging live from the Cowboy locker room. I’ll be letting people know what is real with the Cowboys this year. Jerry said that is great but if I wouldn’t mind helping out with the laundry and cleanup that would really be helpful. He’s such a nice guy. So be looking for number 20 on the sidelines this year. I’m the first string Dallas blogger.
I was pretty impressed with the new Cowboys Stadium. It’d be nice if they would win a few football games.
So that is the report on Jerry’s new stadium. Jerry I hope that you are happy. I’ll see you in August when the season begins.
I had no idea you and Jerry were so close. What a guy.
It’s about time they gave you your own locker!
Jerry who? And does Dallas really have a professional football team or is that just a Pop Warner field for those oil rich dudes?
Wow, you are famous! I am proud to know a real Dallas Cowboy. Good luck with that laundry. I couldn’t help but notice how carefully you had your hand on that cowgirl’s shoulder. I am guessing that Sweetie took the picture and you were playing it safe. Good post Yogi!
I love this! What a hoot! Never realized you’re so famous! Holding good thoughts for you and the laundry! I can just imagine what a great day Sweetie had! Love all the pictures and I’ll look forward to more “cowboy stories” come fall! Really fun post! Have a great weekend — with or without cheerleaders!

Ooops, Yogi – I hope this doesn’t mean you’ll be sitting on that hard bench! Better stay at home and keep writing about the Family and Nature…
It’s a real hard decision. When we go next on a big vacation, do we take a trip to Italy and see the Colloseum or watch a Cowboy game in the new stadium. I’m leaning for ‘boys, wife wants Rome over Romo.
Impressive tour of the stadium. Everything looks so huge when you’re on the field. Looking forward to reading the inside scoop of your team. Will you be wearing a jersey when they play so I can spot you on tv? 😀
Well, I didn’t understand a single word but it made me laugh. You have the most wonderful imagination but, if I were Sweetie, I’d worry just a smidgeon as I think that’s the second time we’ve seen that photograph with the cheerleaders. It’s either that or you still fancy the one on the right!
One thing I couldn’t do is sit on the back row – they’re so HIGH – I’d get vertigo.
As far as college football (or sports of any kind go) my husband’s heart bleeds crimson and cream. On the pro football front his heart bleeds Dallas blue through and through.
We haven’t seen the new stadium up close and personal but it looks outstanding. Thanks for sharing your photos with very unique commentary.
Thanks for the laugh! Tell your BFF Jerry hello! lol
