IRVING, TEXAS (AP) -- The Baltimore Ravens have never play in hole-in-the-roof Texas Stadium.

That will change tomorrow when Ray Lewis, Joe Flacco and the Ravens visit the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys next year will move to their new stadium, under construction in Arlington.

Lewis describes Texas as "a great place of tradition."

Both teams are 9-5 and fighting for wild-card berths into the playoffs.

Dallas quarterback Tony Romo says the fans -- and the players -- are excited about the 313th and final game at Texas Stadium.

A postgame ceremony will feature some of the guys who turned the Cowboys into "America's Team."

Likely headliners are expect Roger Staubach, Bob Lilly, Tony Dorsett, Randy White, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin.

About 100 former Cowboys players and coaches who spent at least five years at Texas Stadium will make one last stroll across the midfield star.
