November 2, 2025: Dallas Trip (Day 2)
The Big Show is getting closer.
The day started with walking a few blocks to Starship Bagels, then carrying our breakfast back to the hotel lobby to eat.
But our real destination waited a half-hour away: AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
It’s like the Vatican for sports fanatics, only louder and with better snacks.
We reserved a guided tour at 11:15. This fantastic experience included:
Behind-the-scenes look at suites, the press box, and media area
The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders locker room
Seeing up-close the ESPN broadcast set-up
And of course — the field itself, which stretched before us like a green ocean
This was our favorite part. We pulled out a football we had brought and claimed that ground for forty-five minutes.
Calling out plays and running routes, we celebrated every catch like a Super Bowl-winning touchdown, surrounded by 80,000 seats.
After the tour, we headed across the street to Walmart where I bought a Cowboys t-shirt. Gotta show the pride.
Returning downtown, we found an Irish pub for lunch and watched NFL matchups. We napped at the hotel with more football in the background.
After ordering pizza, we tuned into… you guessed it… the Sunday night game.
That’s what we do on Football Sundays.
And tomorrow, Monday night, we’ll cheer for the best one of all: Cowboys vs Cardinals, back at the stadium.
Football Sunday was just the warm-up.
