The New Dallas Cowboy's Stadium by HKS Architects is schuduled to open before the 2009 NFL season and is well under way in construction. It has up to 100,000 seats and will end up costing $1 billion dollars, making it one of the most expensive sports venues ever built. The city is looking how to pay for it, and the stadium's final name will likely be sold to a sponser.
A 300 foot-heigh arch spans the stadium dome, there's a retractable roof, and doors that allow each end zone to be opened. The original design of a roof similar to the original stadium's roof was scrapped in favor of a retractable roof panel to shield rain or difficult heat conditions.

I was amazed to discover how much is being built in Dallas...They really are investing in new architecture and bringing all the known names over, it is probably the one city in the US that has so many important projects going on. I guess they want Dallas on the (architecture) map. This article from Dallas Morning News talks about how the city is embracing new architecture. http://blog.dougnewby.com/2007/12/01/why-dallas-is-embracing-an-old-architectural-vision-of-what-the-world-could-be/
Hope you like the article
