Having visited the palace Sunday, New York Giants linebacker Danny Clark came away less than overly impressed with Jerry Jones' new $1.1-billion Cowboys Stadium.
Clark told Sirius XM satellite radio that the visiting locker room inside the stadium features few creature comforts. "There's not a lot of hot water in there," Clark said. "[Jones] cut some corners in the bathroom there." Clark also was dismissive of the noise factor created by an NFL-record crowd of 105,121. "It wasn't as loud as you would think 105,000 people would be," he said. "And for [good] reason. I mean, we did a decent job of making some plays so they weren't all over the place, but I played in Michigan [Stadium] where there's 100,000 people. It wasn't crazy. "I played in New Orleans when we reopened the [Super]Dome in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina. "That place was twice as loud as this new stadium." "The orange carpet overflowed with celebrity part-owners and special guests at the Dolphins sold-out home opener Monday night, and not a bit of it mattered," he wrote. "Jimmy Buffett. Gloria and Emilio Estefan. Serena and Venus Williams. Marc Anthony and J-Lo. Dwyane Wade and Tiger Woods. Star power everywhere you looked, and all of it reduced to a superfluous sideshow. "Maybe one of them could have covered Colts tight end Dallas Clark. Maybe Serena could have shoved a [bleepin] tennis ball down his throat. No amount of flashbulb-popping paparazzi or manufactured glamour can save the Dolphins from themselves if their pass defense continues as horrible as we have seen the first two weeks of this season." http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-...,2038352.story |

I think Romo's interceptions deflated the crowd. He's lucky the boo birds didn't come down on him.
As for the hot water, I'm sure the Cowboy players had plenty.

It doesn't surprise me at all that Jerry Jones went cheap with the visitors dressing room at the new stadium. In fact I would have been more surprised if he hadn't!

Ugh, Jerry Jones makes me physically ill to even look at. He's so arrogant. I have disliked him ever since he became the Cowboys owner. He needs to leave already!
BTW, I am a little surprised to read about the complaints that there is not enough noise, because I've read many times that Qwest Field in Seattle is the loudest in the NFL. I'm not big on a lot of noise (within reason), so I'm a little leary about going to one of the games, but I think I could handle it! |

I agree about the fan noise.. For 100,000 fans that sure didn't sound that loud... I mean the linc has 68,000 & it sounds a hell of alot louder than that place did...
