For just a minute, let's compare the opening of Texas Stadium to the opening of Cowboys Stadium. There are some parallels between the two and if history repeats itself, then we are in for a great year.Texas Stadium made it's debut on October 24, 1971 and at the time it was considered the most luxurious stadium in all of football. Cowboys Stadium will make it's debut September 20, 2009 and it is considered the most luxurious stadium in all of football.
The players for Dallas in 1971 were great legendary players, Roger Staubach, Duane Thomas, Bob Hayes, etc...etc... The players for Dallas in 2009 are great (potentially legendary) players, Tony Romo, Marion Barber, Roy Williams, etc...etc...
The 1971 team used the energy and atmosphere of Texas Stadium to win 7 out of last 8 games of the regular season, also sailing through the playoffs and winning Dallas' first ever Super Bowl. The 2009 team.......... well, we'll have to wait until January to see if the parallels will continue or end there. Should be an exciting ride.
