Dallas Cowboy Stadium
Dallas Cowboys Stadium is the largest domed venue of its kind in the world. Located in Arlington Texas, Dallas Cowboys stadium was designed to replace 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 Dallas Cowboys Stadium was built for impressive sums of money. Arlington officials have in fact increased several taxes in order to be able to support the building of the stadium. City sales, car rental and hotel occupancy taxes were increased with one or two percents for the only reason of financially supporting the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. The National Football League also had a share in the contribution according to the policy that allows financing team stadiums. The important thing is that the venue was built and that the Dallas Cowboys Stadium is part of American national heritage.
As for architecture and design, 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. There is a high-definition video display hung right in the middle of the stadium which enables for a nearly perfect visibility. 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 best American Football team also has a Hall of Fame level within the Dallas Cowboys Stadium and it is indeed worth visiting. 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 cultural shows to the music concerts and exhibitions, there are lots of things we can expect from the new Arlington venue.
