My apologies (Darkside).....as soon as we got into the spaceship, my signal on my phone was terrible. Not sure if it was due to having 100,000 in one enclosed area, or just bad Sprint service.
There were a TON of Bears fans. It was damn near Soldier Field South down there.
It was hot as hell. I guess this is normal for Dallas, and Texas in general, but when I left Chicago on Thursday night it was about 60. It's been mid 90's every day I've been down here. The roof was closed (Thank God), so it was nice and cool inside.
The Stadium is awesome. Drinks are expensive (8.50 I believe for 16 oz's, and 5.00 for 20 oz water), but what do you expect? We were in row 460 (Endzone seats way up). The HD screen is, well, I can't even explain it. My cousin had the camera (my dumb ass should have bought a camera before I left, or least while I was down here, oh well...) I have a few that I will upload later from my phone.
Again, I was surprised at the amount of Bears fans...considering that this was the Cowboys home opener. It was extreme meatball city at the stadium after The Bears won. And I was right smack dab in the middle of it....hugging and clapping everyone in Bears gear.
A great experience. Highly recommended. If I think of any more to add, I will....right now I'm extremely tired and probably still sweating out those Heinekens....
I've been to a couple of games at the Death Star and nobody's network works.
SP, I was stunned at the amount of Bears fans. I'd have to guess 30%? Really unbelievable, and most all the Bears fans were representing with gear of some kind. Jersey's everywhere. Quite loud "Let's Go Bears" chants in the upper tank in the second half.
The prices aren't "deals" at the stadium, but really what is the difference between a $7.00 beer and a $8.50 beer? I mean even if you drink 10 of them that's only $15 more bucks.
Agreed on the meatball party after the game. I've never seen so much excitement for a team that is 2-0 with a stolen victory. Although it was a great experience to party with other Bears fans after beating someone on their own turf.
Oh, and as for the weather, down there they describe days like that as balmy.
