The new Dallas Cowboys Stadium will offer $90 pizzas
By Chris Chase
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.

They have no option but to buy a 12 euro hotdog?

Tankie's looking a wide variety of food.

Just how long do you boys be sitting in Croke Park? Is there some reason you can't bring stuff with you if you have to eat every hour?

Have you ever been around kids before? Do you know annoying and persistent they can be.

Yes, and you tell them no, or bring them in some sweets and tell them they'll get a hot dog on the way home!

This has turned interesting and into another debate, it seems. When I was a kid, my da took me to loads of matches, all over the country. Club games, county games. Some not even involving my own club or county. Thinking back, I would have passed a fair few ice cream vans, shops etc but never asked for anything as I knew the answer would be no. Some kids my age used to bring their hurls for a puck about on the sideline. I remember asking my da could I bring my hurl and he said "No, you're there to watch the match". I said to my sister that I would bring my nephews to the Ulster final and she said "No, after 10 minutes they'd have you tortured looking for the shop etc" (which is probably true). I don't understand this?

Was my da just a cnut?

Nah, there was just some control on you.

Apart from anything else, the hot dogs at Croke Park are possibly the most horrible tasting things I've ever eaten in my life.

Is there some problem with that G? If you take children out to a shopping centre do you buy them everything they want? 

Id say the children would be more interested in sweets than hotdogs anyway.
