The best news of all? This virtual tour is free. If you haven't already, download Google Earth, type "Cowboys Stadium" in its search field, turn on Google Earth's 3D layer and wait a couple of seconds. A detailed 3D model of Cowboys Stadium comes to life, and with a little mousing around, you can fly all over the thing.

We're wondering if Google will fill the stands with 3D virtual screaming fans during the Super Bowl. We want the virtual version of that 2,100-inch "Jerry-Tron," the largest HDTV screen in the world at 152 by 72 feet, to light up with a live feed. Unlikely.

I'm especially fond of the partisan aside offered by Gopal Shah of the Google SketchUp team in Google's Lat Long Blog: "We hope you enjoy the game as much as we will. Oh, and go Packers!" Please feel welcome to disagree with him in the comments.
