IRVING - The Cowboys are planning a special ceremony for their final regular-season game at Texas Stadium.
Fans at Saturday's Cowboys-Ravens game will be asked to remain in their seats for the postgame celebration.
Cowboys officials said close to 100 former players and coaches with a minimum of five years of service to the team will be introduced and walk to the star at midfield. At least 10 members of the Ring of Honor are expected to attend.
The current Cowboys also will take part in the ceremony.
"We've got to involve the people that put the blood and the life into the stadium, and that's the fans," owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday on his weekly radio show.
Early parking for the game starts at 2 p.m. at gates 1 and 6 and Gold, Red and cash lots. The remaining lots and the corral will open at 3 p.m. The stadium gates open at 4:30 p.m.
Romo spreads it around: Tony Romo completed passes to a season-high nine receivers in the Cowboys' victory over the New York Giants.
Dallas is 7-2 this season when seven or more players catch a pass.
The versatility of the offense ranged from two tight ends, two running backs, a fullback and four wide receivers catching passes Sunday.
"It was good," said Pattrick Crayton, who caught a 34-yard touchdown pass. "It's spreading around, and that helps a lot. Whenever it gets distributed in different places, it's usually a W for us."
T.O. party a hit: Terrell Owens held his annual birthday party Monday night at the Gaylord Texan's Glass Cactus nightclub in Grapevine.
Proceeds from the celebrity fund-raiser are given to Owens' Catch A Dream Foundation, which helps 81 families during the holiday season.
Several of Owens' teammates attended.
"I think it's important for the guys to come out and send a message to the world that we're not a team divided," Greg Ellis said. "We're a bunch that's sticking together."
Jones excited: Jerry Jones believes his team is on the verge of something big.
"We really feel like we've got a great opportunity with this team to do something special," Jones told the Ticket.
The Cowboys are the No. 5 seed if the season ended today.
Cowboys-Giants ratings: Sunday's game drew the most viewers ever for an ESPN or NBC Sunday Night Football game.
The game attracted 23.1 million viewers. It also was the No.1 prime-time program for the week and the No. 3 prime-time program for the entire television season, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Staff writers Brian Davis and Barry Horn contributed to the report.
