Tonight the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium gets its first use, with a sold out George Strait, Reba McEntire Concert.I don't know how many tickets were sold, so I don't know how many people will be there tonight. The stadium has seating for 80,000, expandable to 100,000. Tickets to tonight's concert went on sale February 28 and sold out in one hour.
Blake Shelton and Julianne Hough will also be singing. I like Juliane Hough. I don't know if she'll also be dancing tonight.
Apparently the food offerings have been upscaled from what was available in now defunct Texas Stadium, with many more concession stands with kitchens, which means food freshly cooked. Including an on-site beef smoker.
You can get a Kobe burger with onion rings. A guacamole hot dog with white cheese and blue corn chips. Or a Texas dog with BBQ sauce and coleslaw on it.
The prices seem a bit steep. But something has to pay for this $1.1 billion building. You'll be paying $9 for draft beer, $5 for water, $5 for french or sweet potato fries, $10 for a catfish po'boy, $13 for a green chile Kobe burger, $14 for a beef sandwich, to give you an idea of what it'll cost you to eat and drink in the new stadium.
$5 for water?
I'll try and remember to check out the new stadium tonight. I believe it is supposed to pretty much glow in the dark with a big beam of light pointing skyward. It'll be interesting to see how the neighborhood reacts to the noise. And how well the roads handle the traffic. I'm expecting it's going to be a big mess.
You forgot to mention it has twice as many bathrooms to relieve yourself of that $5 water and $9 beer.
