Sports Illustrated gave me a last minute call to set up some remotes for the opening of the new Cowboys Stadium and I didn’t hesitate to jump in a car and head over there. I didn’t get an opportunity to work the game and whereas that would have been an amazing atmosphere to shoot in… I really don’t envy the guys that will be working. It is going to be crazy, loud, and chaotic. (and a ton o fun!!!)
The remotes are overall shots of the stadium and field and should be cool for tomorrows game. I got to be one of the first guys for Sports Illustrated to get up in the catwalk and check out the video board close up and it is a fantastic. (Personal note: Jerry Jones, you sir… are an entertainer and know how to put on a show.) Now, onto the catwalk… you CANNOT even remotely be afraid of heights if you want to go up there. After conquering a titanic set of stairs you must scale a metal grate walkway that has to be at a 40 degree incline…(see last photo in slideshow) and repeat multiple times while lugging equipment. haha.. I got dizzy…
Enough talk.. I hope you enjoy the Iphone photos of the new stadium…
