2018 NAMBA Nationals: FUN STUFF TO DO!

Good afternoon, gang! The 2018 NAMBA Nationals are quickly approaching and I know many families are preparing to head to Dallas over the next week to 10 days. I wanted to share with you some information on sites to see around the Dallas/Fort Worth area! I know we are all gathering for a model boating event, but many families and groups of friends will look for fun things to do together. Below is a list of things I felt you'd enjoy!

AT&T Stadium (Home of the Dallas Cowboys):
While in Arlington, why not stop over at AT&T Stadium and take a tour of the 8th wonder of the world?!? Referred to as Jerry's World, AT&T Stadium is in it's 10th year of operation and is home to the 5x Super Bowl Champion Dallas Cowboys. Along with NFL games and Super Bowl's, the stadium has hosted Soccer matches, championship boxing matches, Wrestlemania, NCAA Final Fours, BCS Championship games as well as the biggest names in the music industry performing concerts!

The stadium offers daily tours and there should be no down days during the Nationals as the Cowboys play out of town the first weekend and they are on a Bye the last weekend of the Nats. Tours take visitors into Jerry's private suite, tours of the individual suites, communication areas, underground and to the locker rooms. Tours also include a picture of you and your guests on the 50 yard line. It's truly hard to believe how large and ridiculously amazing this facility. Cowboys fan or not, each day many people are visiting just to witness the 8th Wonder in Person!!! http://attstadium.com/tours

The Star at Frisco (Cowboys Corporate Headquarters/Practice Facility):
In case you've never heard the phrase "Everything is Bigger in Texas", you might better understand that after visiting AT&T Stadium. Not to be out done, "THE STAR" in Frisco, Texas is the Dallas Cowboys new $1bil training facility and corporate headquarters! Tours are available daily for fans to visit and see just where it all happens! It's not uncommon to run into players, coaches and executives while visiting the facility. On my last visit we saw Sean Lee, Tyron Smith, Cole Beasley, Zach Martin and Jaylon Smith.

Football is king in Texas and not only does THE STAR host the Cowboys, but it also offers it's in-door facilities for High School games! Top teams from around the state play weekly games as well as play-off games in the awesome facility! https://www.thestarinfrisco.com/tours
