ARLINGTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) - Among the excited Dallas Cowboys waiting to buy playoff tickets outside AT&T Stadium is Timmy Riley.
For him, it's personal. "The Cowboys won the Super Bowl when I had my first kid and my second kid. We're not having any more kids, but we are winning the Super Bowl. Go Cowboys, yeah!"
Stefan Baird, not only withstood the chilly temperatures, but Cowboys fans.
He's a fan of the Detroit Lions, who come to play here Sunday. "I represent the hometown."
The line has more than 100 people. Many have waited for hours -- some, like Alvin Avila, say they arrived at the stadium at 10 o'clock Sunday night. "I'm thirsty, I'm hungry, and I'm dirty, but it's worth it because I got my Cowboys tickets, and the Cowboys are going to win. Thank you Jerry Jones, and thank you God."
Kory Walker arrived at the stadium early Monday morning. "I got out here at 7:30 this morning, been out here, fourth in line, braved the cold, layered it up, couldn't have it any better."
That is, until he bought his tickets.
Flashing his new prized possessions, he asked, "Need tickets? Come see me."
To Timmy Riley, there's no doubt the Cowboys will go all the way. "We are winning the Super Bowl, good coach, good offensive line, Tony Romo, good defense."
By 2:30 in the afternoon, an employee at the box office at AT&T Stadium, said most of the tickets sold - only a few remained.
