"I think our team will play to the level of the new stadium," Jones said at the beginning of training camp. "We've spent a lot of time over the years talking about playing for the Cowboys, what it means, the visibility of the team, the interest in the team. We're the most-watched team there is in the NFL; we're the most-watched programming in all of television … the Dallas Cowboys. That's fact." espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/3377/cowboys-stadium-a-tribute-to-excess |

Not really the same thing. Dallas is trying to get 100,000 into the stadium and is just shy of it. Teams like Jacksonville can barely get in 30,000.

I know, that's why it would be so awesome if a game got blacked out.

Good job. They barely sold out the first game in a new stadium against an excellent team from a huge city. Well done.
Be sure to bump this up when they're 4-8 playing at home against the Rams or something.

When was the last time 105,000 voluntarily showed up to watch the Browns?

OK I think this is what Chad wants:
"Wow Chad the Cowboys are the best franchise ever! It's so impressive, the way they built that enormous stadium!! And 110,000 people were there! They must have the best fans ever!!! They are truly America's team!!!! Jerry Jones is such a great owner!! People say he's a prick, but he really just cares so deeply about the game of football! He's such a generous guy for giving us this beautiful stadium! Nevermind that it was built largely with tax-payer money! In fact, I think it's perfectly logical that billionaires complain about too many taxes and then build stadiums with taxes!!! What a wonderful person!!!
And the history! My goodness the Cowboys have such great history!! Did you know that they won three (THREE!) Super Bowls in the 90's?!! It's true. Troy Aikman was they're quarterback. Michael Irvin was their wide receiver!! Can you believe it? Not only are they incredibly smart and acute football analysts, they were also GREAT PLAYERS and never did anything bad like stab someone in the neck with scissors!!! And did you know that Tom Landry wore a hat???!! My God a HAT?! How effing classy is that! What a model franchise. And remember "HOW 'BOUT 'DEM COWBOYS"??!! What an incredibly not-annoying catch phrase!
Thank you so much to the Cowboy franchise for making all of our lives better! It's a great stadium and totally warrant of a franchise such as this!"
Is that more along the lines of what you were expecting?

YES!!
certainly getting close, but I beleive that it is also an insult not to mention Emmitt, when you are talking about the 90's Aikman, and Irvin.
But other than that right on the money! minus the taxpayers paying for it and Jerry benefiting from a tax payer funded facility and not the taxpayes beneting financially

Yes, thank you. I thought I detected a hint of sarcasm, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
