Cowboys Past & Present Ready To Celebrate Posted by nickeatman at 12/20/2008 1:54 AM CST on truebluefanclub.com
As if the Cowboys don’t have enough superstars on the field for Saturday night’s Texas Stadium finale, the guest list of former players and coaches is quite extensive as well.
As of late Friday night, it appears the Cowboys are right at 100 guests – mostly including former players that date all the way back to the stadium’s first season in 1971.
The Cowboys extended their invitation list to players with at least five years of service. However, there will be a couple of glaring omissions from the reception, which is expected to take place after the game Saturday night.
Both Troy Aikman and Daryl Johnston are analysts for Fox and will be broadcasting games on Sunday. Neither is expected to be in attendance on Saturday.
They’ll be missed for sure, but with that many talented players on the field, even guys like Aikman and Moose might be overshadowed.
We’re talking about Roger Staubach, Tony Dorsett, Randy White, Bob Lilly to guys like Phil Pozderac and Dave Edwards.
Should be a lot of fun. If you’re fortunate enough to go to the game, this is one you need to stay in your seats for until the very end. And that doesn’t mean, the end of the game, but the following ceremony that will include a concert, player introductions and a couple of music videos that are sure to bring out a few tears before the lights go out for good at Texas Stadium.
