FRISCO, Texas (AP) _ Jason Witten glanced overhead at a giant picture of him
above the walkway to the new indoor practice stadium for the Dallas Cowboys.
Defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli turned one way through a crowd of media
members, only to reappear seconds later going the other way, not afraid to admit
he was lost.
The Cowboys had their first workday Sunday at their new practice facility _
part headquarters, part spa, part museum with amenities the players probably
couldn’t have imagined at aging Valley Ranch.
“I mean, words can’t describe it,” Witten said about the site about 30 miles
north of Dallas. “It’s an unbelievable facility.”
The cramped training room at the old facility in Irving has been replaced by
multiple rooms and rehab pools, including one with a surface that moves up and
down to accommodate players limited by movement coming off surgery. It also has
underwater cameras for athletic trainers to see a player’s feet hitting the
surface. And the football-shaped locker room dwarfs the previous one.
