texas stadium

Texas Stadium has been the home field of the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys since 1971. It is located in Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. Built to replace the aging Cotton Bowl, the stadium was to have originally been a domed stadium, but the stadium could not support the weight of the entire roof, and public funding ran out before the roof support structure could be modified. This resulted in most of the stands being enclosed but not the playing field itself. This unusual arrangement prompted Cowboys linebacker D.D. Lewis to make his now-famous quip that the "hole" in the stadium's roof was there "so that God can watch his team." The playing surface installed in 1971 was officially labelled Texas Turf, and was a form of AstroTurf; it was replaced by a somewhat softer surface called RealGrass in 2002.
