Cowboys Stadium
Cowboys stadium is almost finished. 
The stadium is worth a little over a billion dollars. The stadium building began in 2006, and is scheduled to be complete in June of this year. The Dallas Cowboys will now play in Arlington instead of Irving.
The Dallas Cowboys are labeled “America’s Team.” Now America’s team will have one of the nicest stadiums in the world. The stadium includes a retractable roof, and the largest high-definition television screen in the world.
Arlington is paying 325 million dollars, and the National Football League is paying 150 million dollars of the estimate 1.3 billion. The remaining costs will come from Jerry Jones’ pocket.
Arlington residents are only seeing a 1/2% increase in sales tax,, 2% in hotel tax, and 5% in car rental tax.
The new stadium does not have a name yet. Many believe the struggling economy is a major reason why companies do not want to sponsor the stadium. Some fans want the stadium named after former coach Tom Landry.
Tom Landry would be a good name for the stadium, but Jerry Jones will probably not go for the idea. Jones was the person who fired Landry in the early 90s.
The new stadium will also hold college football games and musical events. The 2010 NBA All-S+tar game is also being held at the stadium. I am anticipating the All-Star event because Lebron James will be in the slam dunk contest.
The stadium is estimated to hold 100,000 people. I do not care where I sit as long as I have a good view of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. There is actually Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders that attend the University of North Texas. 
I am very excited about the Red River Shootout this year. The stadium will host the University of Texas and the University of Oklahoma. It is a big game for both programs because the star quarterbacks from each team are returning.
Hopefully the Cowboys will actually make it to the playoffs this year. Terrell Owens is a popular subject on ESPN. Many people believe that T.O. has to go. I personally believe that Tony Romo should work on his decision making, and focus on becoming a better football player.
Another Cowboys issue is whether to sign free agentRay Lewis. I believe he is one of the great linebackers to ever play the game, and Zach Thomas is nothing compared to Lewis. Lewis is old, but still understands the game. He is physical and has the mental toughness the Cowboys need
The luxurious stadium is nothing without a winning football team. Cowboys fans need to see there team in the playoffs. I think if fans could trade a Superbowl win this year over the new stadium they would.
I saw the stadium being built last year from the Ballpark in Arlington. The stadium is a work of art, and the size is flabbergasting.
The stadium proves that the Cowboys are the most valuable franchise in the world. Residents in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex should be grateful to have a beautiful stadium where they can appreciate good sports.
