Texas
Stadium
After over 30 years of existence, Texas Stadium is still one of
the NFL's best stadiums, and one of the most unique stadiums in
the league. After several years of playing at the Cotton Bowl, the
Dallas Cowboys wanted a new state of the art stadium exclusively
for them. After bonds were passed allowing a stadium to be built,
construction began in the late 1960's. The stadium was named after
its location, Texas Stadium.
The Dallas Cowboys played their first game at Texas Stadium on
October 24, 1971.
Texas Stadium became one of the NFL's most unique
stadiums upon opening. The stadium is partially domed. A hole is
in the center of the roof which allows fans to stay dry but leaves
the field open to the elements outside. Over 65,000 blue seats in two
tiers extend around the gridiron. Two DiamondVision
scoreboard/video-boards are located inside Texas Stadium. The
stadium has many amenities that
include
381 luxury suites, a stadium club where fans gather for parties
and banquets, and The Corral, which provides food, beverages,
entertainment and large screen televisions for fans before, during
and after all Cowboys games. Flags commemorating the Cowboys five
Super Bowl championships are hung from the roof. For years Texas
Stadium was one of the best stadiums in the NFL. However, over the
past decade many teams throughout the league have opened new
stadiums that have more club and luxury seating than Texas Stadium
has. This led to the Cowboys wanting a new stadium to replace
their current home. Funding
for a new stadium was passed in November 2004 and the Cowboys will
move into their new stadium in 2009. The Cowboys will play their
last game at Texas Stadium on December 20, 2008. The future of Texas Stadium
after the team moves out is unknown.
