finally made it out there last night ..... not a bad place.
good parking, ample concourse, plenty big enough for most games, very cool looking with the upper deck and the big fieldhouse in the end zone, decent PA guy, they showed replays
2 negatives
1 - we were on the visitors side and when we left we had a very hard time getting on Polk to get to I20 ... with the truck stop there the big rigs were blocking everyone, we finally had to go the opposite way and do a U turn ... I cant imagine how it would be for a large crowd - they would definitely need some traffic control - and maybe they do
2 - whoever said you weren't far from the field is, uhhmm, nuts or blind. of course there is a track and there is enough room between the track and the sideline for another track. way too far for my taste.
bottom line is it is a very nice facility, good place to watch a game ....... but I would rate it behind some other DFW venues such as Mesquite Memorial, Homer B. Johnson, the Gopher Bowl, Birdville, Pennington, Highland Park, SLC ........ simply because you are so far from the field
