The skinny The Cowboys new stadium will be a gold mine this season. The team has sold most of the premium seating and sponsorships to their new stadium. Annual revenue from the stadium will be around $350 million, before debt payments. During the next couple of years Cowboys will be hosting an NBA All-Star game, NCAA Men's basketball Final Four and a Super Bowl. Look for team owner Jerry Jones to wait for the economy to improve before selling the stadium's naming rights for a record amount for a football team.

Most likely the only time we’ll see “#1” and “Dallas Cowboys” in the same sentence for a spell, so thought I’d get this out there now. Plus I also realize we have a great many DC/Jerry Jones lovers around these parts, so...
And all of it was built with tax payer money.
THIS is a stadium.
GO PATS!
I gave up pro football when Jerry Jones took over the Cowboys.
Still can’t buy a title!
Steeler fan here.

Always has been too:
Not this season.
This season Chargers #1.
The new stadium sucks from what I hear
I was thinking the very same thing! LOL
We finally agree on something :)
Football should always be played outside in the elements
“THIS is a stadium.”
I always thought that was Heaven’s Waiting Room? LOL! The two times I’ve been there, it felt like being in church. It is simply awesomely amazing.
Secondly, Favre won’t be playing the Cowboys in their pre-season game this week. Hardy-har-har. ;)
I’d say “Go Broncos”, but I think the handwriting is on the wall for this season!
(no coach or owner ever says a season is a rebuilding one)
I had the pleasure of touring Lambeau and I was blown away with how they integrated the old with the new.
It is truly NFL Mecca and every football fan should experience it.
Now, if I can just arrange to see a GAME there, I can die fulfilled.
You heard it sucks from whom? Are you funnin me? Seriesly, I have no idea whether you’re a fan of the game or the team but you should check it out for yourself. It is spectacular— and I’m not easily impressed.
Reports are at the opening concert show NO ONE could understand a word of the lyrics.
There I said it. $30 for a party pass, $75 tailgate parking
Overblown just like the cowboys
They're going to have a lot of blackouts.
