I mean cmon son, I look at your blog every day and I&#8217;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.&#8221; He just begged and begged and so I said alright I&#8217;ll be down. He said that he had a surprise for me. Sweetie even agreed to go with me.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry did right by putting a statue of Tom Landry out front.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4684631149\/\" title=\"20100607_121 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20100607_121\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4684631149_a56bd64711-225x300.jpg\" width=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of course, right after Jerry bought the Cowboys he fired Tom Landry. But hey, that&#8217;s football.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;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&#8217;s hard to get a good image of it. The show is on the inside.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry just couldn&#8217;t quit talking about his huge digital televisions over the field.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4685220578\/\" title=\"20100607_82 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20100607_82\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4685220578_a06c371a8c-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One person I know that has attended games there talks about &#8220;retina burn&#8221; because the screen is so bright and sharp. I&#8217;m just glad that the Cowboys had a halfway decent season last year. Jerry&#8217;s video presentation of the mid 1990&#8217;s team was getting a little stale. I didn&#8217;t tell Jerry that.<\/p>\n<p>Sweetie was not very impressed but she was a good sport.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4684583739\/\" title=\"20100607_80 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20100607_80\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4684583739_3325390146-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And then we down on the field<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4685245578\/\" title=\"20100607_103 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20100607_103\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4685245578_fff9711dd8-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>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.

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!!<\/p>\n<p>And then Jerry said, &#8220;Hey lets check out the girl&#8217;s locker room.&#8221; I said &#8220;you sure?&#8221; He said, I own this place Yogi, I go wherever I want whenever I want.&#8221; OK, lets go Jerry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4684628389\/\" title=\"20100607_119 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20100607_119\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4684628389_2fcea3076a-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s pretty nice, its decorated in Cowboy blue and Cheerleader pink.<\/p>\n<p>Then we went to the football player locker room.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/4684616129\/\" title=\"20100607_108 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"20100607_108\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/4684616129_fdb0885041-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>No cheerleader pink here.<\/p>\n<p>And then he showed my surprise.

Jerry said that is great but if I wouldn&#8217;t mind helping out &nbsp;with the laundry and cleanup that would really be helpful. He&#8217;s such a nice guy. So be looking for number 20 on the sidelines this year. I&#8217;m the first string Dallas blogger.<\/p>\n<p>I was pretty impressed with the new Cowboys Stadium. It&#8217;d be nice if they would win a few football games.<\/p>\n<p>So that is the report on Jerry&#8217;s new stadium. Jerry I hope that you are happy. I&#8217;ll see you in August when the season begins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys (for you RHOKers and Canadians) called me and said &#8220;Dang Yogi, when you going to come down and blog about my new football stadium?
