This was perhaps the most anticipated game of the NFL football season thus far. The first ever regular season game in the new Cowboys Stadium, a mega dome for America’s football team, and by association, America’s stadium.
What a beautiful stadium it is. Broadcast to the nation on Sunday Night Football, we witnessed a new breed of sports complex. This was big enough where, laid on its side, the Empire State Building would be the same length as the stadium (or even less).
A plasma television above the field was bigger than any high definition unit in the history of the world. The picture looked crystal clear, just as clear as the plasma TV set I watched the game on.
After a nice week one win for the Cowboys in Tampa Bay, many doubts were answered regarding the Cowboys’ ability to shoulder the loss of Terrell Owens and play effective football. Tony Romo looked phenomenal at quarterback, and the team clicked as a unit.
The Giants were a difficult opponent for the Cowboys, and this game might not be as easy to win. Many experts varied in their predictions for this game, and it was bound to be a close one.
And a close game it was. The game was fought to the very end, with the Giants coming away with a 33-31 victory. The Giants are now 2-0 and the Cowboys 1-1. While the Cowboys do look like one of the better teams in the NFL, this was a game they should have won.
