Kaboomtown, Addison, Texas 07/03/2009



Here are some pictures from Kaboomtown airshow and fireworks held in Addison, Texas on July 3rd, 2009. They have some great vintage WWII fighter planes that you can see taxing on the top picture and flying in the second. The third picture show some of the fireworks and one of them is of a plane trailing fireworks. They also had stunt planes and a wing walker. It was a great show once again this year.

Cowboys Stadium decor












Jerry went all out on the stadium decor. The first pic shows a Cowboy star light on the ceiling of one of the suites.
The second pic shows grafitti written on a concrete column down in the bowels of the stadium.
The next pic shows one of the service areas with lots of monitors so you don't miss any action.
The next pic shows a football shaped area with lights hanging down to look like laces on a football.
The last pic shows the marble flooring which can be seen in the 3rd pic also. It shows that Jerry was able to find black marble that has Cowboy blue in it.
Tune in tomorrow and I will have pictures from the commercial they were filming when we were there.

Cowboys Stadium from the inside























Ok, the top pic shows the field (they were shooting a comercial). The next pic is looking out of the top deck on one end and shows the end video screen. Next pic shows the 125 foot high doors slighlty opened. The next pic shows one side of the 60yard long video screen made up of many individual screens. These video screens cost 40 million dollars which is 5 million more than the old Cowboys stadium. The last pic shows the retractable roof section.
Some stadium facts:
Seats 100,000
Is the largest domed structure in the world
The arches are more than twice as long as the St. Louis arch.
