Get your tickets early!!!!!!!

 


This boggles the mind!!!  The Billion Dollar Cowboy Stadium

 

To say it is Texas-sized is almost an understatement.  This is a steel and glass monument like no other field in the world. It can seat up to 100,000 (though games will typically be 80,000). It will be the largest such venue in the world, and in theory will be open in 2009.

 

After you go into the site, click on each picture and get a preview of different areas and amenities .

 

The video screen hanging 110 feet above the field will be 60 yards (180 feet!) long and weigh 600 tons. The end zone seats get screens that are merely 48 feet wide. Monster screens will hang outside the field for those who just want to come and tailgate.

 

The two steel arches supporting the stadium are over one-quarter of a mile long and will be the largest single-span arches in the world, bigger than the St. Louis arches. The Statue of Liberty could fit under the retractable dome. Each end zone will have a glass door 120 feet high and 180 long, which can be opened in just 18 minutes.

 

And the cost? $1 billion, give or take. Ten times the cost of the Ballpark @ Arlington . The taxpayers are contributing $350 million, plus a ton of new roads. The mind boggles at the expense, both public and private.

Man! That is a stadium. Just watching the snapshots and video almost make you feel like you're there and apart of the action. I don't know if I'd dig playing up under the scoreboard though. I'd be too afraid that 6,000 pounds would come toppling down on me (lol).
