IRVING, Texas - For the first time in 17 years, the Dallas Cowboys will host an open practice at Texas Stadium on Wednesday, August 20 at 7:00 p.m. The event officially kicks off the team's season-long "Farewell" to Texas Stadium commemoration.
Sponsored by Miller Brewing, the evening practice will be free and open to the public and is scheduled to feature live-entertainment, performances by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, live in-stadium interviews with players and coaches, promotional give-aways and much more.
