Dallas Cowboys 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. The official opening took place on May 29th, 2009, and the stadium will house the home games of the team for the new NFL season. 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 will also be used by other organizations for sporting and non-sporting events alike.
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 became one or two percents higher for the only reason of funding 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. Lots of nicknames have been given by fans to the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium but most of them are very little known.
As for architecture and design, it seems that the new new dallas cowboy stadium can stand against any criticism. The stadium is anchored by massive arches and the retractable roofs make the building practical on all sorts of weather. 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. With 3,000 square feet bigger than the former scoreboard, Dallas Cowboys Stadium scoreboard now measures 11,520 square feet.
The Dallas Cowboys Stadium also includes a Hall of Fame level dedicated to the best American football team. The drawings are very comprehensive and the entire level is impressive by the quality of design and the touch of history that it leaves. The 2011 Super Bowl will be housed by this facility, but until then, the Dallas Cowboys Stadium is expected to be used on very numerous occasions, for a wide range of activities. From cultural shows to the music concerts and exhibitions, the new Arlington venue has a lot of things to offer.
