High school: Waco vs Carter in 91. JT vs Plano East in 94, when the cowboys defeated the Packers to go to the super bowl in 95. Colorado upset Texas Big 12 championship. Mike Jackson concert.

For me two games standout. John Tyler vs Plano East playoff game in 94 is outstanding. Second would be Dallas vs Minnesota around 2002 on Thanksgiving day. Randy Moss put a big hurting on the Cowboys that day.

For me it was way back in the early 80's. I went with my grandfather to a Cowboys game with a group of people from his church. The Boys were playing the Buffalo Bills that night (Monday night) and several Buffalo fans were sitting right behind us. They heckled us and we heckled them, back and forth all night. It was all in good fun and nobody got mad. At one point a few of them sitting directly behind me and my grandfather even offered to buy us a round of drinks and snacks if the Cowboys scored before the quarter was over. We took them up on that of course!...LOL. Those guys were hilarious and we all had a great time. I went to another Cowboys game back in the 90's with some of my friends and that was a lot of fun too, but that 80's Buffalo game was the best.

The best memory is to see that ugly stadium go down. Now planners and architects, you have a blank canvas to create a great urban community that includes the Trinity and mass transit (with the new Dart rail line).
Make something to be proud of.

Back in the early 80's (I was probably around 6 or 7 years old)-- going there for a field trip as part of my boys summer camp, and playing football on the field. I'll never forget getting to stand on The Star at midfield.

I never set foot in the place but did drive by several hundred times. Just from the visual I do have one everlasting memory...

The white band around the building, just beneath the roof, had (I suppose) windows evenly spaced entirely around the perimeter. I noticed many many years ago that this white perimeter looked like the belt line of the Cowboys cheerleaders outfits.

Anytime I saw the building I would see the cheerleaders and vice versa.

Sad to see the old gal go...
