Jerry Jones ' new 7th Wonder of the Western World!!!
There are six massive cranes working on what will be a new Texas Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys. To say it is Texas-sized is almost an understatement. And you could not have a more stark contrast to the stately Ballpark. This is a steel and glass monument like no other field in the world. It can seat up to 100,000 (tho ugh games will typically be 80,000). It will be the largest such venue in the world, and in theory will be open in 2009.
After you go into the site, CLICK ON EACH PICTURE ON THE LEFT and get a preview of different areas and amenities. The video screen hanging 110 feet above the field will be 60 yards (180 feet!) long and weigh 600 tons. The end zone seats get screens that are merely 48 feet wide. Monster screens will hang outside the field for those who just want to come and tailgate.
The two steel arches supporting the stadium are over one-quarter of a mile long and will be the largest single-span arches in the world, bigger than the St. Louis arches. The Statue of Libert y could fit under the retractable dome.Each end zone will have a glass door 120feet high and 180 long, which can be opened in just 18 minutes. And the cost? $1 billion give or take. Ten times the cost of the Ballpark. The taxpayers are contributing $350 million, plus a ton of new roads. The mind boggles at the expense, both public and private.
