Update: In the post below, we link to a story from the Lincoln Journal World's Web site that contained a number of inaccuracies.
According to the Cowboys, the 20-inch pizzas at the new stadium will cost $60, not $90 as reported. (That's the same price they were in the suites at Texas Stadium.) There will be five different types of pizza available for that price. Beer will be sold for $5.
The suites themselves will range from $100,000 to $500,000 per year. That lease will include tickets to Cowboys games, but not third-party events.
The colossal new Dallas Cowboys Stadium is living proof that everything is bigger in Texas. The menu in the luxury suites proves that things there are more expensive too.
Those enjoying a Cowboys game from a luxury suite at the new stadium will have to shell out $90 for pizza and $66 for a 12-pack of domestic beer, reports Steven Sipple of the Lincoln Journal World. Ninety bucks for pizza? That's almost as much of a rip-off as Roy Williams.
It costs $800,000 per year to lease one of those luxury suites, a hefty sum that doesn't include game tickets. On the bright side, the stadium's official Web site says that "having your company's name on a suite makes an important statement about your success" and can help make an impression on clients. (Namely that they're paying you way too much money.)
As for the $90 pizza, that's the cost for a plain pizza. No word on how much each topping costs but, suffice it to say, if you're a fan of pepperoni you may want to consider refinancing your mortgage before you head down to watch the Cowboys. :) :) :)
Man!!! I'll make the pizza for half that price, and it will probably taste better than what they got to offer!!! ;) :) :)
There's a place in San Antonio I went to a while back that makes pizzas that are 42 inches in diameter, and weigh over thirty pounds for probably the same price unless they read this story and start charging more!!! :) :) :)
BTW, here's the link to the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium, and man is it ever the biggest I've ever seen!!!:
