Goodbye Texas Stadium


The Cowboys had a very disappointing end to a great history at Texas Stadium. The 33-24 loss to the Ravens was in front of former greats such as: Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Jay Novacek, Tony Dorsett, Leon Lett, Roger Staubach, Bob Lilly, Randy White, and the list goes on. Tony Romo talked, in his press conference, about how special it was to play with all the veterans back for a final homecoming. Texas Stadium will always be a great memory for Dallas fans. My parents are huge fans and cherish the 90's when "America's team" was at its prime.

Here are some great memories from Texas Stadium: (Cowboys fan or not)
1. Dallas 35, Washington 34 (Dec. 16, 1979)
2. Dallas 24, Washington 23 (Nov. 28, 1974)
3. Miami 16, Dallas 14 (Nov. 25, 1993)
4. Dallas 42, Green Bay 31 (Nov. 25. )
5. Philadelphia 27, Dallas 0 (Nov. 23, 1989)
6. Dallas 38, Cincinnati 10 (Nov. 4, 1973)
7. Dallas 38, San Francisco 21 (Jan. 23, 1994)
8. San Francisco 41, Dallas 24 (Sept. 24, 2000) - George Teague knocked TO on his butt.
9. Dallas 44, New England 21 (Oct. 24, 1971)
10. Green Bay 20, Dallas 10 (Dec. 24, 1989)
The first Super Bowl I ever remember was Super Bowl XXX when the Cowboys beat the Steelers 27-17.
Dallas' Larry Brown became the first cornerback to be named Super Bowl MVP, recording two interceptions and returning them for a total of 77 yards.
During the Cowboys time at Texas Stadium, they won 5 Super Bowl Championships.Goodbye Texas Stadium!!!
