Dallas Cowboys Stadium
Dallas Cowboys stadium is the largest domed venue of its kind in the world. Built in Arlington Texas, Dallas Cowboys stadium replaces the former stadium used by the Cowboys since the early days of the team. Intended to house the new NFL season for the team, the Dallas Cowboys stadium had the official opening on May 29th, 2009. The architecture of the stadium pays homage to the former structure by mimicking a hole in the roof, in remembrance of the original Texas Stadium. The new Dallas Cowboys stadium serves for non-sports events too, such as concerts, shows and other cultural manifestations.
The building costs of the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium were impressive, making it one of the most expensive sports venues ever built. Arlington officials have in fact increased several taxes in order to be able to support the building of the stadium. Car rental, hotel occupancy and city’s sales taxes were increased with one or two percents for the only reason of funding the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The National Football League contributed to the project by quite an impressive sum of money according to the regulations. Lots of nicknames have been given by fans to the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium but most of them are very little known.

As for design and architecture, it seems that the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium is beyond any criticism. Massive arches anchor the stadium at each end, the retractable roof makes events possible no matter the weather and the glass doors allow easy access at each end zone. The huge video display hung in the middle of the stadium is the largest high-definition (HD) screen available in the world, therefore, visibility is impeccable. Even the new scoreboard is highly larger. Dallas Cowboys Stadium now boasts with a 11,520 square foot scoreboard, which is around 3,000 square feet bigger than the former version.
The Dallas Cowboys Stadium also includes a Hall of Fame level dedicated to the best American football team. Even if you are not a Cowboys’ fan you’ll still be impressed by the huge number of real life drawings and the quality of the design. Although many events will be housed in the Dallas Cowboys Stadium during the next couple of years, the 2011 Super Bowl is by far one of the most expected. From music concerts to cultural shows and exhibitions, there are lots of things we can expect from the new Arlington venue.
