Goodbye Cowboy stadium… I will miss you…
(sorry it took so long to get this post up… i usually log in and then get caught up reading a friends posts while she is in Korea and then I lose interest in typing b/c she is so poetic and it makes me feel like a first grader when I write… but she hasn’t posted in four days and that broke the spell and I can type again…. although I still think I type like a first grader… and…. that’s why I am a photographer… hehehe)
I was fortunate to be allowed to participate in (potentially) the last Dallas Cowboy game in Texas Stadium. They are going to tear it down and move to the new stadium next year and it was fun getting to have have one last experience here. My father and I used to watch the games when I was little. We were there for the one win season as well as the super bowls… Sports Illustrated gave me an opportunity to work the games and I have been fortunate to cover events since 2002. Don’t get me wrong, the new stadium is beautiful but there is a history here for so many people that it will be hard to have to watch them implode it to build a mall or condos or whatever.
So Texas Stadium, in the immortal words of the recorded U.T voice when you finished registering classes…
“good bye and good luck”

I finally posted again! I was sick. I am sorry they are tearing down your stadium, I had no attachment to it since I don’t watch the Cowboys, but I appreciate the feeling. I like for places and things to stay as they were, holding my memories forever. But I guess not everyone is sentimental like us.
