AT&T Stadium

When we arrived at the AT&T Stadium for the 12:00 art tour, they had these huge side doors open.  This big crane was lifting a Ford vehicle to one of the upper tiers to be put on display.

This picture shows a better view of the crane and the automobile.

This view is looking down to the stadium field.  The night before, the stadium had hosted a soccer game and real turf had been laid out for the game.  So the next morning the turf had to be rolled up and the dirt had to be swept up as well. That tiny little blue machine that looks like a Zamboni is not cleaning ice but vacuuming up the dirt.  Phil, our tour guide, told us that the turf is used that one time then after being rolled up, it is donated to a charity...think Habitat for Humanity!

70,000 people had attended the soccer game the night before, but you could not have known it as the stadium was clean, all the trash had been dumped out and the stadium looked like it was ready to host another event.  Phil said cleaning crews normally  work all night to ensure the stadium is clean and ready the next morning  for tours and other activities

Looking out the second tier window, we saw this tent structure set up.  There is where standy-by attendees wait to be called.  It has large screen TV's plus tables, chairs and a bar.  So as one is waiting for tickets, drinks and fun can be had and the action is not missed!

These are the clocks installed throughout the stadium.  Looks just like the face of a watch.

Interesting lighting fixtures at one of the concession areas.

What a way to watch a game!!
