Dallas Cowboys Stadium

Dallas Cowboys Stadium /

The new stadium in Dallas wasn't empty for long as the Giants and Cowboys quickly filled the house.

Thanks to some affordable standing-room only tickets, the Cowboys set an NFL regular season record with a crowd of 105,121.

Pregame rock 'n roll entertained the fans as they entered the new stadium.

With the new scoreboard in place, every seat offered a view.

To get to the field, Romo and his teammates run past adoring fans.

Mario Manningham made a circus catch against Terence Newman to ruin the Cowboys stadium opener.

Cowboys fans who did not have a direct view of the field still could see the game on the scoreboard.

The first regular season game in the new stadium ended with a game-winning field goal by Lawrence Tynes on the final play.
