Cowboys Sideline Reporter’s Travel Diary: A Special Night for the Team at Freedom Tower’s One World Observatory

--Kristi Scales

Ten road trips a year are among the biggest perks of broadcasting NFL games. Some people don’t like business travel or find it tedious to make trips that are quick turnarounds, but Cowboys road trips are among my favorite parts of the job.

During the 2015 season, Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett deviated from the team’s normal travel routine to provide an extra special experience for players and coaches (and a couple of lucky long-time broadcasters, including myself). For the game at the New York Giants in October, we left a day early so the team could spend Friday evening touring the 9/11 Memorial and attending a private team dinner party inside Freedom Tower.

It was a high-brow evening, to be sure. All the players and coaches were dressed in suits & ties. The team’s hotel is in Jersey City, so upon arrival on Friday evening at Newark Airport we took a bus to

Hey NASCAR fans!  It is never too early to start thinking about travel arrangements for the 2012 NASCAR season.  If you are looking for a one of a kind type of experience then there is no place like Las Vegas.  The party never stops in Vegas and next February NASCAR will return to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the 15th time.  Carl Edwards was your 2011 Vegas race winner and 5 time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson has the most career wins with 4.

The month of August has begun, the hot summer has arrived, and three Grand Slam Tennis events have already been played.  At this time of year, residents of New York and tennis fans around the globe prepare for the US Open Tennis Tournament in Flushing, Queens.

For the first time since 2003, there is new tennis player on top of the world rankings.  Move over Roger Federer, welcome Rafael Nadal.  During the season, Nadal has won 7 titles including the French Open and Wimbledon.  This man is on pace to break many modern day tennis records.

If you have not been to a tennis event, I would personally recommend the US Open.  It is very easy to get to Arthur Ashe Stadium from any area in New York.  You can take the #7 train towards Queens and drops you off right behind the stadium (also in front of Citi Field, home of the New York Mets).  After a very short walk over the bridge, you will arrive at
