Although most were disappointed with the Cowboys’ loss to Baltimore, it did not ruin the postgame ceremony honoring Texas Stadium. The ceremony consisted mostly of former players, coaches, and administrators coming out onto the field one last time to run to the star at midfield.
I have not seen an official list of attendees, and I was not able to record the entire ceremony. Based solely on my recollection (and I was paying close attention, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t forget anyone), below is a list of those in attendance. If you are aware of a player I missed, please leave a comment so that I can update this list.

Our Trip
I made a short video of our trip to Texas Stadium for my son to watch. I meant to take many more pictures, but: (a) I am lousy at taking pictures; (b) my camera tends to take bad shots because it has a strange delay between hitting the button and taking the shot; and (c) I am especially lousy at trying to take pictures with the equally lousy camera.
Anyway, here’s the video:

Blogging impatiently about the Cowboys since 2006. Being a fan since 1977 hasn't required quite as much patience.
