More and more tollgates on DFW tollways are completely unmanned – in fact SH 121 has no people-booths at all.  Instead of collecting hard currency from you, your license plate is photographed and compared to DMV registration records and then you are invoiced by mail.  Fairly streamlined for the traveler.  But also about 40% more expensive than using a toll tag.  So it is worth your while to visit www.NTTA.org and get yourself a toll tag.

Cowboys Stadium	Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is expecting 105k fans for the sold-out opening game against the New York Giants.  The brand new state-of-the art stadium with the world’s largest high definition video screens shares the neighborhood in Arlington, Texas with MLB team Texas Rangers.
The Rangers game will be letting out about the same time as folks are on their way to see the Cowboys.  Officials say that Cowboys parking was designed to handle the crowds.  Fans are advised to come early and do their tailgating, and enjoy the game.	The Ball Park In Arlington
