JerryWorld progress

So it might be a preseason game? They wouldn't play preseason in Irving and then open the regular season in Jerryworld?

I don't remember what Houston did with Reliant. Was their opening regular season game against the Cowboys the first event in it, or was it something else?
 
I don't know that much about Houston's situation, but since Reliant & Atrodome are right next to each other, they could be owned by the same entity. Irving owns Texas Stadium, and the lease expires after the last game of the '08 season. To play preseason there, you'd have to negotiate a separate contract, outraging Arlington, who'd be missing their cut of parking, concessions, and whatever for two preseason games of 80,000 people.
 
No hard numbers yet, but I'm hearing $10,000 PSL for lower level endzone and $135 per ticket.

I haven't received my information packet of joy yet from Jerry, so take that with a grain of salt.

If that is ball-park then I'm looking at a $337 per game price for a pair of tickets in the lower level. That doesn't include parking or any interest for financing. I can think of four games out of 10 where the secondary market for tickets exceeded that per game cost for LL endzone. Those secondary market prices also occurred in a year when the Cowboys had one of their best regular seasons ever.

FWIW - Central was scheduled for 10 years, and came in ahead of schedule. AND, traffic kept moving the whole time.

Now, how long would JerryWorld take if they did not have a clean work area when they started? It's apples and oranges.
 
Will the new stadium have a natural grass field that slides in like the cardinals stadium? or will they stick to artificial turf. I want the boys' to go back to playing on natural grass.

How in the world is there going to be 80,000+ seats? Look at our 80,000+ seats stadium and compare it to this JerryWorld. This stadium looks like it is lucky if it gets 70,000 seats.
 
Having a full bowl for seating makes a difference, too. If we completed the South endzone at DKR-TMS to match the North endzone, our seating capacity would be... well... quite large.
 
The Channel 8 piece last night was pretty damning, and gave some hard numbers for the first time:

* 15,000 seats in the lower bowl and two mezzanine levels have been designated "club seats" and require a PSL to be purchased by February 1 (now extended to February 11 because of poor sales).

* The PSL's for those 15,000 club seats range in price from $32,000 per seat at the goal line to $150,000 per seat on the 50-yard line.

* The Cowboys have not yet fixed the PSL prices for the remaining seats in the stadium, but have said in previous printed materials that every seat in the joint will have a PSL attached. However, with the sluggish sales of the club seats, that may change.

* Face value for the club seats will be $340 per ticket, up from $129. Parking will be $75.

* As of yesterday, only 1,750 of the 15,000 club seat PSL's had been sold

If those ticket prices hold true, I told LonghornLawyer-ette last night that we will never see the inside of JerryWorld. We are both Giants fans, and I take her every year to the Giants game. We scalp tickets for around face. But if we're going to continue to scalp tickets for face at the new stadium, the we might as well fly to New York and see the Giants at the Meadowlands, since it wouldn't be that big of a price difference.

Oh, and for those interested, Channel 8 is doing a follow-up tonight. The piece was teased on GMA this morning as "why Dallas taxpayers should rejoice that the Cowboys' stadium is being built in Arlington."
