My father had the chance to go to a Skins game and was a guess of a friend who was a guess of Jerry Jones. He sat in the owners box and watch the most exciting game he had ever seen as the Skins hit Aikmen in the end zone he fumbled and we recovered for a TD in the last minutes of the game (I think the game was in the mid 80's). My father could only sit there and watch as RFK was shaking from all the cheering fans. It was pretty cool because he sat beside Clarence Thomas and he has a pix with him and you can see the band playing on the field durn half time.
