Located in Arlington Texas, Dallas Cowboys stadium was designed to replace the former stadium that was in use since the early days of the Cowboys. 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 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 purpose 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 new 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.

From music concerts to cultural shows and exhibitions, the new Arlington venue has a lot of things to offer.
