Dallas Cowboys stadium to open in June

by Luke Tuchscherer | 26 May 2009

The new Dallas Cowboys Stadium is due to open in Arlington, Texas, on 6 June.

The 3 million sq ft (278,700sq m) stadium, which is estimated to have cost around US$1.3bn (£819m, 931.5m euro), will become the largest NFL stadium in the US, stretching a quarter-mile in length.

Designed by HKS Sport, the 80,000-capacity (which can be expanded to 100,000) stadium boasts the largest retractable roof in the world at 660,800sq ft (61,390sq m) and a centrally-hung video score board.

The building was funded by the Dallas Cowboys and the City of Arlington, which helped pay for the stadium by increasing the city's sales tax by 1 per cent, the hotel occupancy tax by 2 per cent and car rental tax by 5 per cent.

Cowboys Stadium will have 200 suites in eight different locations and The Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame, with paintings, photography and videos detailed the team's history.
