With a stadium that can be seen from space that cost an estimated $1.2 billion to build, according to ESPN, it appears that when it comes to "America's Team," the Dallas Cowboys, owner Jerry Jones believes that nothing is too big or extravagant.
It is for this reason that when Jones brought a bus, nicknamed "The Elegant Lady," that the Dallas Morning News reports, cost him an estimated $2.5 million, to the NFL Combine, being held in Indianapolis, Ind., no one was shocked--no about the price tag anyway.
The bus originally made its debut at the Super Bowl in New Orleans. In fact, Larry Allen used the bus to watch the announcement of him making it into the Hall of Fame, CBS Sports reports.
As for what "The Elegant Lady" has to offer:
Deadspin states that the bus comes tricked out with a range of amenities, including nine televisions for watching football and other sports, room for 20 with couches and chairs. A parking extension, sliding doors, a modern kitchen as well as multiple Blu-Ray players, kitchen appliances and an outdoor television for tailgates.

Astonishingly, attempts at vandalism, mostly by jealous fans of other teams, as bleacherreport.com claims, have been quite low.
The Dallas Morning News reports that according to the bus driver, Emory Tyler, there have been only two incidents of vandalism while he has been driving for the team. One featured a marker taken to the bus when the vehicle was in California, which took the driver only 30 minutes to clean up. Another was an egging the bus took while in Indianapolis.
It will primarily be used for the team to get around town and to meet with prospects and other personnel and it could also be used for social events, reports sportsworldreport.com.
But, fans of the Cowboys should still plan for more changes as this is just another step in the reformation of the team that hasn't made the playoffs for three-straight seasons.
Jones, according to sportsworldreport.com, has spent this offseason drastically modifying things in Dallas. This includes the firing of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and bringing in Monte Kiffin. He also is starting to work on an extension with Tony Romo once the agent meets with the team.
