COWBOYS STADIUM INAUGURAL SEASON  1 FanGuide09:Layout 1 6/4/09 3:02 PM Page 2

FROM THE OWNER Save the calories for bacon. Dear Fans:

It is with great pride and respect that the Dallas Cowboys welcome you to share in the historic opening of Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, . The 2009 NFL season gives all of us the wonderful opportunity to participate in a milestone that carries great regional, national and international significance.

Cowboys Stadium is unlike any other that has come before. From the digital video boards that stretch 60 yards under a retractable roof to the sliding glass doors that reach up 120 feet high in each end zone. From the stadium’s two signature arches that each exceed the span of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis to a capacity that can reach more than 100,000 guests.

Every element of this venue is designed to offer fans a game day sports and entertainment experience that is both unprecedented and unforgettable.

The cornerstones upon which the stadium was constructed extend far beyond mortar and steel. The foundation upon which Cowboys Stadium stands is a phi- losophy of providing the absolute best in the areas of customer service and fan comfort. This is your home, and that is our promise.

Our commitment to create something that is bigger and better than any of its predecessors was inspired by the fans of the Dallas Cowboys—who for half a century have elevated this franchise to a level that has always been larger than life.

Your standards and expectations have always motivated the Cowboys to ex- ceed theirs.

A football team’s stadium is only a structure—until it is filled with fans—and then it becomes a home.

Cowboys Stadium, when filled with Cowboys fans, will become a magical place where dreams will be realized and history will be created for generations and generations to come.

Sincerely,

Jerry Jones The first diet cola for men. COWBOYS STADIUM INAUGURAL SEASON  3 PEPSI MAX and the Pepsi Globe are trademarks of PepsiCo, Inc.

By having a specific parking lot assignment, you will be directed to your lot, avoiding the task of circling the Stadium in search of an open space. What’s more, we can provide you with custom directions that will reduce traf- fic congestion and get you to your parking lot safely and efficiently.

Directed Parking Spaces Once you enter the appropriate lot, you will be directed to a parking spot by an attendant. By following the direction of the parking staff you will get parked quickly and safely. A parking pass is valid for one (1) spot, and parking spots are for vehicles only. If you want to park near a friend, you must have parking passes for the same lot and arrive together. Parking spots cannot be reserved or saved for guests arriving at a later time. Parking spots are for ve- COWBOYS STADIUM hicles only. Drive aisles must remain clear at all times.

Limousine Parking Limousines will be able to drop off passengers in Lot 1 and in Lot 6. Limou- sine parking is available on Randol Mill Road and on Cowboys Way. A limou- sine parking pass is required.

Parking Lot Assignments Season parking for Suite and Club guests is in the numbered Cowboys lots. Specific lot assignments are based on the location of the purchaser’s Suite or Club seats.

Passenger Drop-Off Zones There are two passenger drop-off zones at the Stadium. One is located on the north side off of Randol Mill Road in Lot 1 and the other is located on the south side off of Cowboys Way in Lot 6.

RV/Oversized Vehicle Parking RVs and oversized vehicles (any vehicle longer than 19 feet) must be parked in Lot 14. All other lots are for standard size vehicles only. An RV/Oversized vehicle parking pass is required.

Vehicle Security Inspection All vehicles parking within the Stadium’s secured parking perimeter are sub- ject to a security inspection before being allowed to park.

Tailgating Tailgating for Cowboys games is permitted in designated tailgating spaces only. These spaces are located on the perimeter of each parking lot and have a grassy area immediately behind the vehicle parking spot. There are tailgating spaces in lots 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, and the spaces are filled on a first come/first served basis. If interested in tailgating, it is important to arrive early to obtain one of the designated spaces. For more information on tailgating, including all tailgating guidelines, visit Stadium.DallasCowboys.com. Please be sure to review all of the tailgating guidelines if you intend on tailgating.

DALLAS COWBOYS FOOTBALL CLUB

Dallas Cowboys Football Club – A Brief History One way to look at the rich history of the Dallas Cow- boys is with numbers: a NFL-best 20 consecutive win- ning seasons from 1966 to 1985; a record number of Super Bowl appearances (eight) and five Super Bowl victories; one of only two teams to win more than one Super Bowl in two different (1970s and 1990s); and the first team to win three Super Bowls in a four-year span (XXVII, XXVIII and XXX).

The other way to look at the Dallas is through the eyes of its nation- wide fan following. Often called “America’s Team” to reflect their coast-to- coast (and even worldwide) popularity, the Cowboys annually produce top television ratings and, in the 1990s, set a NFL record by playing in front of 160 straight sold-out stadiums (home and away).

One of the reasons for this team’s success on and off the field is the quality of their leadership. Since its founding in 1960, the Cowboys have had just three owners and seven head coaches. Four of those head coaches have won at least one Super Bowl in their careers. For their first 29 seasons, the Cowboys were led by president and coach . During Clint Murchison’s ownership of the team (1960-1984), the Cowboys won two Super Bowl titles. When purchased the club from Bum Bright in 1989, he brought in Jimmy Johnson (1989-93) as head coach, and the Cowboys earned world titles in 1992 and 1993. (1994-97) succeeded Johnson with a championship in 1995. led the Cowboys to a divi- sion title and a playoff berth in 1998 and 1999. , a two-time Super Bowl winner with the in the 1990s, was hired in 2003 after a three-year run by at the head coaching position. Parcells guided the Cowboys to two playoff appearances in his four years at the helm before retiring following the 2006 season, and in 2007, Texas native guided Dallas to a 13-3 record and their 16th NFC East title.

A succession of top players at every position has helped ensure that every Cowboys era has been a winning one. Stars of the ’60s and ’70s include quar- terbacks and , running backs and , wide receivers and Drew Pearson, offensive lineman , defensive linemen , Ed “Too Tall” Jones and Randy White, and .

In recent years, several members of the Cowboys have been considered among the NFL’s all-time best. That group includes popular stars such as new DALLAS COWBOYS FOOTBALL CLUB COWBOYS STADIUM INAUGURAL SEASON  33 FanGuide09:Layout 1 6/4/09 3:02 PM Page 34
