So, the Dallas Cowboys’ new stadium has been awarded Super Bowl XLV.
That’s Super Bowl 45 for those of you who are Roman numeral challenged.
Even though the game is four years away — 2011 — the announcement that it is coming to the Dallas area should excite folks in Oklahoma. No doubt few of us will have a chance to actually get tickets for the game. Even though the stadium will seat 100,000, most of us don’t have the clams to shell out for a Super Bowl ticket.
But fear not, my fellow Oklahomans. You’ll still be able to go down to the Dallas area and enjoy Super Bowl week. There will be fanfests and, of course, the whole metroplex will be hopping with celebrities and notables and such.
People watching is free, and it will be every bit as fun as the game.
For those of us who aren’t able to swing tickets for the game, here’s a look at the stadium that will host XLV. It’s quite a place. A football palace really.
Reminds me of University of Phoenix Stadium actually. The state-of-the-art home of the Arizona Cardinals hosted the Fiesta Bowl and the college football national championship game this past season, and the Cowboys’ stadium looks a lot like it.
Very impressive.
