Cowboys Stadium:
The new Standard for Sporting Venues Texas State University
Abstract
The Dallas Cowboys called Texas Stadium home for thirty-seven years but with the construction of Cowboys Stadium the franchise resides in the most technologically advanced facility in the world. From the arched box trusses, to the retractable roof, or to its largest high definition screens on earth, the stadium is the best equipped in the world. The techniques used in construction show it innovative minds of everyone included on the construction of the project. The use of highly developed materials such as grade 65 steel, Epogrout 758, or polytetraflouroethylene-coated fiberglass give the competitive advantage to the construction of Cowboys Stadium.
Dallas Cowboy Stadium was built in Dallas, Texas by National Football League team owner Jerry Jones. The Dallas Cowboys are commonly known as “America’s Team.” This new technologically advanced sports complex was built in effort to revitalize the NFL franchise. This stadium has a modern, sleek design and is very accommodating to sports fans. The stadium is the largest column free room in the world with over 104 million cubic feet of volume, and is a huge upgrade from the old Texas Stadium built in 1971. The team owner Jerry Jones wanted to keep the uniquely styled hole-in-the-roof design to keep the tradition of allowing God to look in on his favorite team
At first glance, Cowboys Stadium is noticeably larger than other stadiums. HKS Sports &Entertainment Group, designer of other well-known sports venues such as The Ballpark in Arlington, Texas and American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas, designed the stadium to be the largest column-free room in the world. The two arch box trusses that support the roof structure of the stadium extend the length of nearly a quarter mile. The arches stretch horizontally
