Cowboys Stadium is Truly Amazing

The owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones has just opened the largest capacity football sporting stadium in the world. He told ESPN writer, Matt Mosley that the stadium will seat over 100,000 people, and he spared no expense making it the nicest also. Jerry Jones plans to make this Cowboys stadium as well known as the Whitehouse. Jerry got his inspiration for his new stadium from all around the world. He traveled all over Europe to find ideas for this building. Jerry Jones wants this building to be his legacy. This stadium cost 1.2 billion dollars to build and he and the residents of Arlington believe that it is worth every penny. Jerry Jones has been the owner of the Dallas Cowboys since 1989, and has three superbowl victories under his belt. He has not only made the Dallas Cowboys the most popular football team in America, but made them the most popular athletic team in the world.

This stadium has many unique features. When the team gets ready to go onto the field or leave they march right through the Miller Lite Club, one of the many bars in his stadium. If you were looking for a ticket to one of the Cowboys games you could even go for the “Party Pass,” it’s a twenty-nine dollar pass that is standing room only and sells eight dollar drinks all game. There is room for you and 20,000 of your fellow Cowboy fans. This ticket is the best value for those of us on a budget. They are many other seats, but they cost quite a bit more. The Cowboys regular seats are priced the highest in the National Football League. Probably the most unique feature this stadium possesses is the GIGANTIC scoreboard in the center of the field. On top of that, it is in HD!

My first reaction to Jerry Jones building an athletic stadium of this magnitude was that I think he is crazy. Why in world would you need a stadium that had so much? After I thought about it though, I began to think why not? This is not only an accomplishment for the Cowboys, but an architectural one as well. The Cowboys fans have to be very proud of their team and their new stadium.

I think I reacted this way because 1.2 billion dollars is so much money. At first I thought he was kind of throwing it away just so people would remember him when he’s gone. I really think Jerry Jones not only cares about making money, but he also really cares about his fans and players. I really like how he made some of the tickets so reasonable for those fans that are on a budget.

I’m not even a Cowboys fan and I want to go to one of their games. I really want to see this scoreboard that is supposed to be amazing.
