Neiman Marcus selling Dallas Cowboys end zone

This Christmas, Neiman Marcus offers holiday shoppers a chance to bring the Dallas Cowboys’ end zone to their own back yard.

On Tuesday morning, the Dallas-based luxury retailer unveiled featured items in its annual Christmas Book to news media at Texas Stadium.

This year’s fantasy gift is nothing less than an end zone from Texas Stadium — 530 square yards of sporting history for a mere $500,000.

The Dallas Cowboys are playing their last season at Texas Stadium before moving to their new stadium in Arlington. During the last game at Texas Stadium, the purchaser of the fantasy gift will get VIP treatment and a postgame party with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. After the game, crews will cut out the end zone, roll it up and install it in the purchaser’s yard.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will donate the $500,000 purchase price to the Salvation Army.
