Sadye's World




Howdy,
My name is Sadye and I am the loudest and proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2015! Whoop! However, I will be graduating in December of 2014. I am a first generation student here at A&M so this definitely has been a bumpy road for me. I lived in Detroit, Michigan till the age of 2 and lived in Dallas thereafter. I am a Finance major and plan to pursue a career in commercial banking with Guaranty Bank & Trust. I plan to start as a credit analyst and thereafter become a loan officer. Outside of work and school I enjoy traveling to Dallas to visit my family and friends. My niece was just born in October so I can't stay away for long. I recently picked up cooking as a hobby so i've been doing a lot of experimenting haha.  I also truly have a passion for animals. It saddens me to see how many pets are abandoned and left in shelters to be killed. About a year and a half  ago I adopted a furry friend and he has brought so much joy to my heart. He actually had one more day to live before he was put down (so sad) . I am more than happy that I made that decision because he is truly an amazing, loving and smart guy! Some things I really look forward to knock off my bucket list are going on a cruise, visiting London and going sky diving with my best friend (which is my biggest fear). I look forward to learning all the different aspect of real estate and hope for a great semester. 

America's Team has a new home.

Growing up, I remember sunday fun day always meant fajitas on the grill while watching the cowboys alongside all my family. It's a tradition that even today we celebrate so when we heard about the new stadium we were supper excited.The Dallas Cowboys AT&T stadium was built in 2009 and is located in Arlington,TX. Fans with seats anywhere in the stadium are able to see the massive HD video board that is 90 feet above the center of the field. It is 160 feet long by 71 feet high and is one of the largest HD video boards in the world.The stadium seats 80,000 people making it the third largest stadium in the NFL. The Cowboys stadium doesn't have your average bolted in chairs like other stadiums. The seats are actually adjustable and can be moved closer together to add seats which makes the stadium able to hold 100,000 people for special events such as the super bowl.The stadium is not only used for profession football, it also host other activities such as concerts, basketball games, college and high school football, and even soccer matches  The stadium was designed by a Dallas architectural firm called HKS, Inc. They Anticipated the total cost to be $650 million however the stadium's current construction cost is 1.15 billion making it the most expensive. One of the biggest criticisms of the Cowboys stadium is that it is currently the only NFL stadium that is not accessible through pubic transportation, including bus, light rail and ect.. This leads to a huge amount of frustration and confusion with traffic. I haven't had the chance to actually go inside of the stadium yet but I have seen the virtual tours and am definetly excited to attend a game here one day. I plan to have a sunday fun day here with the family soon.
