Sooooo, I took the stadium tour today. I really just wanted to get an up-close look at the new place, and WOW, was I bowled over! Pretty incredible place. Not too shabby for a $250k/mo electric bill.
Waiting in Line. 50 people every tour (at $16.50), leaving every 15 min = 200/hr. Multiply that times 8 hours= $26,400 for tours every dang day. We were standing in a line with about 120 people waiting for tours. Jerry wont be hurting for long.

This is the media suite. Every desk space has 4 plugs and 2 internet ports.

Just your average corner suite. Its only $45k per game for this one. That does include food and bevies.

Mega board. As told several times, the Cowboys star wasnt going to be viewable from above because of the HUGE mega-tron, so Jerry thought it best to include a star on top of the board....you know, for passers by. Goodyear blimp appreciates your thoughtfulness Jerry!

Cotton Bowl head offices. Those are silver football helmets floating.

Same view, but pointing up to the roof. This is the 400-level concourse. There really are NO bad seats in this place. Brent and I decided that we preferred the 300 level seats.

Another shot. Check out the guy on the cherry-picker for perspective of how HUGE this place is. This is where they said millionaires (players) would rub shoulders with billionaires (fans that can afford these suites). The players just trot right through the middle of their lounge.

opposite view. Again, players run down this ramp toward me and through the door onto the field. Im standing in the middle of the lounge. That is Jerry Jones' private elevator that goes directly up to his suite.

First stadium to have field-level suites. This is just to the right of where the players trot onto the field...so this is what they see when they run onto the field.

Price for the field suites starts at $5million. Now, that does include a 20 year lease, but does not include the ticket prices per seat and food/bevs.
