that thang is fiine!



Posted by Joey Pa @ 1:06 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Unbelievable stadium!!! Anyone know if it comes with safeties that can actually cover and tackle?



Posted by rs691919 @ 1:08 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

That's a pretty cool looking stadium. Like Texas Stadium on steroids.



Posted by Clark @ 1:08 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

So I assume Coach Landry will still stand watch out front?



Posted by Big Tom, NYC @ 1:09 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I love the look! I just don't know if I could ever afford to attend a game there. I just may have to move to DFW or Arlington!



Posted by Ken @ 1:16 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I like it alot. I think the field level suites are a cool idea. I'm most pleased that the hole in the roof is staying.



Posted by Rob Schmid @ 1:19 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Awesome, Best in all of sports. Kind of have to wonder about players walking by the suites. (rich fans get drunk too)



Posted by Zach Bolinger @ 1:19 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

All I wanted was the hole in the ceiling.....Thank you.



Posted by Brad @ 1:23 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

WOW! I'm speechless! That is unbelievably awesome! I can't wait to go to a game there! I LOVE IT!



Posted by Kevin J @ 1:24 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Laura Miller can kiss the Cotton Bowl game and TX-OU good bye. All Jerry needs to do is start selling fried twinkies and corny dogs, and people will forget every reason why the games shouldn't be at Jerryland.



Posted by Bernardo @ 1:28 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Looks sweet!



Posted by Ken In SA @ 1:36 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

It looks awesome, but the devil will be how close they were able to put the spectators to the action. That's the hallmark of a great stadium, in my opinion.



Posted by HectorM @ 1:40 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

A little bigger than mine!!!!



Posted by Dave Crasser, Colleyville @ 1:44 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

mmmm....looks like some kinda 6 bladed razor i could use on my face and on my back...hot....



Posted by P @ 1:45 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

It certainly looks good from the outside. Hopefully the view from the seats, and boxes are just as good. Very interested in hearing what name they finally decide on.



Posted by bruce @ 1:49 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

It looks incredible. That thing is going to make people hate Ameriquest Field even more on those 110 degree August nights. He should show Rangers games on the jumbotron in that air conditioned bad boy and see which place draws a bigger crowd.



Posted by Chris J. @ 1:56 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Wow! Now if only the team can become as good as the new stadium.



Posted by drew @ 1:57 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

The team needs some fixin' but the old Texas Stadium is just fine with me, just fix the leaking roof. And I see Jerry wants to include a leaking in roof in the new stadium anyway. I wonder if the homes in suburban Arkansas come complete with a hole in the roof too.



Posted by Jeff L. @ 2:05 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Obviously I can't say for sure, but although the picture does show a 'hole' in the roof, I'm pretty sure it's just a depiction of the roof being open or partially open. It will be retractable ala Reliant or several others around the league.



Posted by cory @ 2:07 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I wonder if it comes with a free safety, or turf that only slows down the other teams receivers? A little more thought into the stadium maybe....



Posted by salman merchant @ 2:16 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I just wish it was in Downtown.



Posted by Druid @ 2:18 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I dont know man...does it fly ? what if we have another 5-10 years of mediocrity playing in a billion dollar statium ? I for one, prefer something open air like the Cotton Bowl, and anyway...whats the problem with the Texas Stadium ? So it's 35 years old (???!!!?!?!) change the uniforms now and then, but dont see the point of keeping up with the Joneses (...ooops...didnt mean another ...Jerry-joke...)



Posted by Tarod @ 2:19 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Looks great. Actually, what I really, really care about is the NAME. PLEASE don't sell the naming rights, please! I think without a doubt it should be called TOM LANDRY STADIUM. Back me up peeps!



Posted by druid @ 2:24 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

For the price tag, I hope it comes with self-regenerating artifical turf.



Posted by Huh? in Muleshoe @ 2:26 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

What is suburban Arkansas? Mississippi?



Posted by Bernard @ 2:40 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I wonder who the NFL will schedule as the Cowboys first game ever in the new stadium. Mark my words it wont be Detroit :(



Posted by Yep @ 2:44 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Nice to see Jerry is picking up most of the tab. What a jewel to have for the city of Dallas.



Posted by Nohmiso @ 2:46 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Will the ring of honor have enough room for Drew Pearson?



Posted by Kirby @ 2:56 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

The design of the stadium and retractable roof is quite clever. When the roof is opened, it is almost identical to the size of the hole in Texas Stadium. Nice. And 60 Y A R D screens above the field??? Unreal. Cant wait to see the Ring of Honor, and the Tom Landry statue there too.



Posted by Coyote @ 2:59 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

From the looks of it, you should have enough Ring of Honor room for the whole bloody phonebook. If they havent given the great Drew Pearson some room at Texas Stadium, doubt they'll give him a break here.

And yes TOM LANDRY STADIUM has a good Ring to it.



Posted by PackMan @ 2:59 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Don't count on Landry standing out front. I predict Rowdy will take his place.



Posted by Buddy @ 3:07 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Typical Dallas bravado, arrogance and bragging.
Signed,
Houston

(Looks great in my opinion. I love how they kept the "hole" in the roof.)



Posted by Mike @ 3:19 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Goodbye, Cotton Bowl. Goodbye, Texas-OU Weekend.
"Texas Instruments Stadium" would be fitting...



Posted by VegasFan @ 3:20 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Somewhere Tex Schramm is smiling brightly. I think he would be proud.



Posted by Jimbo @ 3:28 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

For a stadium name how about Landry Stadium? Or Landry Field?



Posted by Eric @ 3:34 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Naming rights/money are a big deal. It will not be called Tom Landry Stadium (as nice as that would be). With a price tag of $1 billion, and only $350 million of that being paid by Arlington, I can guarantee you that the naming rights will be sold.



Posted by Coyote @ 3:51 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Eric has a point. The bottom line is what counts today. As honorable as TOM LANDRY STADIUM sounds, if the money is right it will be more like....TWINKY FIELD....



Posted by alanTdot @ 3:57 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I love it.

I will commence selling my soul so I can afford seasons tickets!!!



Posted by Wally Rhymes @ 4:07 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I want to take the under on when McBriar hits that gargantuan TV.



Posted by Brendan @ 4:31 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I can hear it now, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Campo Colliseum!!"



Posted by Hanker @ 5:08 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Are you kidding me? Of course, the new name will be "Jones Hall", or perhaps "Jones stadium". Why else would JJ invest so much of his own Franklins?



Posted by Lunging Wolf @ 5:08 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Simply the best, like everything else Mr. Jones tries to do. Wonder if he'll replace his replica of Texas Stadium, the 12-person hot tub, with the new improved 40-person hot tub and jumbotron. If so Jerry, I want an invite.



Posted by Mel @ 5:15 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Maybe all the Dallas and Fort Worth billionaires should get together and buy the naming rights and name it Tom Landry Stadium. Matt, you could make this a personal crusade....



Posted by Nohmiso @ 5:32 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

Gotta figure that AT&T has already signed the check for the naming rights. Anyhow, what happened to the hotel/mall/cowboyworld themepark that was in previous designs?



Posted by Joseph Alvarado @ 10:27 PM Tue, Dec 12, 2006

I think the new stadium should be called "Keeping up with the Jones' Stadium!!!!!



Posted by Bernard @ 8:47 AM Wed, Dec 13, 2006

Why dont we name it " America Field"
Its nice to see we have more room for the other teams fans to make more noise than the Cowboys fans



Posted by LBK Mike @ 9:17 AM Wed, Dec 13, 2006

For those who say nothing is wrong with TX Stadium, have you been to a game recently? My favorite memory as a season ticket holder for the Bill Parcells era was when the toilets in my section backed up and leaked all the way down to my isle. It was nice leaving the game wadding in 3 inces of toilet water.



Posted by Packman @ 10:25 AM Wed, Dec 13, 2006

Nohmiso,

I bet you are correct about AT&T. I can see them being the favorite for naming rights. How about AT&T/Landry Stadium?



Posted by TJ @ 6:47 PM Wed, Dec 13, 2006

I guess they don't plan on sellin beverages. Otherwise they would have planned alot more restrooms.



Posted by Greg @ 11:19 PM Wed, Dec 13, 2006

This stadium has already been built it is a copy of AZ Cardinal Stadium in Phoenix with a few minor differences. Emmitt must have given Jerry a set of the blueprints when he came back to retire.



Posted by yoxi @ 3:43 PM Fri, Jan 18, 2008

We should name it BOSS HOGG bowl...jbjbjb jb jb j bj j j j j j j j ju ujujb uj uivb ujn
