Here's the catch (you know there is always a catch): It's a practice. But hey it is free.

For the first time in 17 years, the Dallas Cowboys will host an open practice at Texas Stadium.

Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. the team with hold a regular workout session and fans are invited to fill the seats.

The event is part of the Cowboys' season-long farewell to Texas Stadium.

Of course since it is the Cowboys, the event will feature live-entertainment, performances by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and live in-stadium interviews with players and coaches, among a slew of other things the team has cooked up.

Prior to the practice, a special autograph session with former Dallas Cowboys players will be held from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. for the first 1,000 fans arriving at the stadium.

The Texas Stadium gates are scheduled to open at 4:30 p.m.

The 2008 season marks the last year the team will play at Texas Stadium. In 2009, the Cowboys will begin play in the team's new stadium in Arlington.

The team even has a website dedicated to saying good bye to the stadium with a hole in the roof: www.farewelltotexasstadium.com.
