Dallas Cowboys Stadium
dallas cowboys stadium is the largest domed venue of its kind in the world. Built 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 architectural elements present in the former building are imitated in the appearance of the new venue as a form of homage or tribute paid to the team’s history. 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 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. The important thing is that the venue was built and that the Dallas Cowboys Stadium is part of American national heritage.

Massive arches anchor the stadium at each end, the retractable roof makes events possible no matter the weather and the glass doors allow easy access at each end zone. 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. The scoreboard is a lot larger too. Dallas Cowboys Stadium now boasts with a 11,520 square foot scoreboard, which is around 3,000 square feet bigger than the former version.
