More Dallas Cowboys' Stadium Information

The plans for the new Cowboys' stadium have not been made public yet but The Fort Worth Star Telegram has published some information they have gotten from inside sources.

One thing I am glad to hear is that the "Hole in the Roof" will remain but will have a retractable cover that can be opened or closed. The stadium will have a more modern appearance made of steel and glass and look like a "spaceship". Other features identified are:

About 75,000 seats split among eight levels, called the Event Level, the Hall of Fame Level, Main Concourse, Mid-Concourse, Silver Level, Ring of Honor Level, Star Level and Upper Concourse.

Quarter-mile-long steel arches running end zone to end zone.

Large outdoor digital video screens that are similar to the 96-by-27-foot south end-zone scoreboard in the Arizona Cardinals' new stadium.

No end-zone seating above ground, allowing people to "see through" the stadium from the parking lot.
