New Dallas Cowboys Stadium: Longest Single-Span Roof Structure in the World
The NFL's Dallas Cowboys are known for their innovative way of playing football, a trait that has brought the team its legacy of Super Bowl championships. Despite Texas Stadium's noteworthy "hole-in-the-roof" design, the Cowboys' home since it was built for $35 million in 1971 no longer exemplifies the team's winning game plan. Soon, however, the Cowboys will play in a stadium that does reflect the team's commitment to innovation without compromising Texas Stadium's characteristic design elements or the Cowboys brand. The Cowboys' Owner and General Manager, Jerry Jones, along with the Jones family and architect HKS, is the force behind the team's new $1.1 billion, world-class, amenity-rich, retractable roof NFL stadium. The efficient yet monumental superstructure's design, which complements the team's strength and intensity, created many structural engineering challenges.
