Simple things are worth blogging about

Tonight is the opening of the new stadium just outside of Dallas, Texas. The owner of the Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones spared no expense when it came to building this new football stadium for his team and all those Cowboy football fans. The world’s largest TV or projection monitor sits high above the field and this was the center of controversy in the preseason football games in Dallas. The other team’s kickers have been kicking footballs that have hit the huge TV monitor that sits above the 50 yard line. The NFL League did ask Jerry Jones to raise the big screen up another 10 feet, but he refused to do so. Many think he refused because it is impossible to move the huge monitor in any way.
The new Dallas Football Stadium will hold over 100,000 football fans. It is expected there will be about 103,000 for tonight’s first game in the new stadium. If that many fans turn out to see the Dallas Cowboys play at home for the first time this year, they will be a part of history. This is because no other professional football games have ever had that many fans to see their game. Not even a previous Super Bowl event has ever seen 100,000 fans attend and it would appear that history will be made in Dallas, Texas tonight.
The Cowboys won’t have an easy opponent when they break-in their new football stadium. They will have Eli Manning and the New York Giants as the first opponents in the new Cowboy stadium. I’m sure Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys would have liked to get an easier opponent with their first game, but the fans should really make some noise if Dallas does well in week 2 of the NFL season. The NY Giants are a good football team and there aren’t too many NFL teams that could beat them. The Dallas Cowboys do have the talent to match up to anyone in the National Football League, but it remains to be seen if they will get a win on their first night in the new stadium.
