New Dallas Cowboys Stadium

Sorry about the crooked picture - but with me being under the influence of pain pills, it looks pretty good to me.

February 6, 2011, Super Bowl XLV is coming to North Texas - whoopeefreakindo. No, I'm just kidding. I just dread all the traffic that's going to come with this new stadium.

Here's some stadium stats (they're pretty impressive):

Total Square Footage: 2.3 million square feet - The entire Statue of Liberty and its base could fit into the stadium with the roof closed.

The stadium will also be the world's largest column-free room.

The American Airlines Center in Dallas could fit entirely into the new stadium at field level.

The interior cubic volume is 104 million cubic feet. The Dallas Cowboy Stadium will be the largest enclosed stadium in cubic feet in the NFL.

The stadium will have a seating capacity of 80,000, plus standing room or additional seating in the end zones that can increase the total capacity to 100,000.

The stadium features signature monumental arches, an expansive retractable roof, massive glass retractable end zone doors, a distinguishing canted glass wall (whatever that is) and the world's largest center-hung video board.

The new stadium will have 200 suites in eight different locations on five separate levels.

The domed roof is 660,800 square feet, making it the largest domed structure in the world. The opening measures 256 wide and 410 feet long. Two bi-parting mechanized roof panels - each measuring 63,000 square feet - will be driven by a rack-and-pinion drive system consisting of 64 - 7.5 HP electric motors making it the first of its kind in the world.

The field is actually 50 feet below ground level so fans entering on the plaza level will have a panoramic view over the field.

The end zone will have the flexibility to convert from standing-room only to seating, based on specific event needs.
