October 16, 200322 yr Author not sure if they have announced the costs yet... but its up there... 650 may be conservative.
October 17, 200322 yr I saw this almost a year ago on KXAS-TV's website. It is going to like Reliant Stadium in Houston with the roof, but Dallas-style.
October 17, 200322 yr the thing is that town loves there cowboyz and they will most likely get it even if it 's gonna cost 700-800 million
October 19, 200322 yr Thats a very nice stadium. But I really like Texas Stadium. I hope you guys get what you want. But still.... THIS is a stadium.... Nothing can EVER touch that. :thumbup
October 19, 200322 yr Author it will be more than a stadium. it will be about 5 different entities in one, able to pack in about 100,000 for special events.
October 19, 200322 yr Lambeau Field is a year round thing now. - Stadium tours. - The Atrium where 12 World Title Trophies (including the 3 super bowl trophies), 7 League MVP Trophies, 3 Super Bowl MVP Trophies, and Countless Division Championship and Team MVP Trophies are proudly displayed to the fans as they enter the Atrium. Weddings, Parties, Business Meetings are all great to be in the atrium. - Restraunts open year round. - Basically an entire shopping mall of nothing but Packers stuff. - A Game Zone. - And of course the main event, the actual football field and the Packers. 6 entities in one. Able to cram in 72-75 thousand in the actual bowl of the stadium and another 20-30 thousand in the Atrium and what not else. About able to hold 100k sounds right. Not to mention the tailgaters outside of Lambeau which is priceless!
October 19, 200322 yr Author ok. lambeau field can do their thing. stadium tours are part of every stadium though....big deal. same thing with resturants in most modern or refurbished stadiums. lambeau is impressive, no doubt but the thing i am not sure about...for the atrium...do you have direct access to the field in terms of seating? i have no idea what the setup is for that, which is why i ask. oh and dont forget the hotel that cowboys park will have in it.
October 19, 200322 yr Author well as far as the cost i am not exactly sure.... but this would not only benefit the cowboys but the community as well with all the numerous fields and such available to youth primarily.
October 19, 200322 yr If this thing gets built and it probably will, it will definitely be a sight to see.
October 19, 200322 yr Das, i have seen may plans over the stadium and many details but i can never get a definative date for when construction could begin and end. any info?
October 19, 200322 yr Author well first they have to decide on a location.... i would think that it would go up for vote, which i am almost sure will be needed either next spring or next fall. ground breaking could begin shortly thereafter....and completion...i am not sure.
October 19, 200322 yr and im thinking the Cowboys will be opening the stadium as four time defending super bowl champions. NOW am i being to optimistic? :lol Go Quincy!
October 19, 200322 yr We have access to the field via tour pretty much. The only way we can get onto the field from the stands is doing a reverse "Lambeau Leap" And well from the atrium it kind of is on the corner of the field but I've been there once or twice since it was completed and I believe you have direct access at one point from the atrium to the field. Not sure though. I guess I have a good excuse to go there in 3 weeks and find out against the Eagles then! :w00t
October 19, 200322 yr This has been tried so many times before in proposals(being the key word). Whatever happened to just concentrating on the most important part, The Field? Putting up buildings around the stadium should be just a side note right now, their is no reason to worry about buildings that in all probability won't be built. One thing I do like though is THe Hotel outside The Stadium. If it was inside, would cost to much for The Average family but if you would partner with a franchise that builds nice hotels(Marriott) and provide reasonable prices you make a hefty profit. Their's only one hotel outside of THe SPorts COmplex in Philly and it cleans up on weekends.
October 19, 200322 yr Author I know it has Rune. And its not like Texas Stadium is decrept. Jerry Jones wants to take the mystique of the Cowboys and broaden it in these various manners. Knowing the passion for this team in and around Dallas, it probably all gets done. Whether that will require Jerry to fork over some of his own money, I am not sure. But I wouldnt discount this thing being built and ground being broken within a year.
October 19, 200322 yr I hate PPS/JRS/Dolphin Stadium. It looks so dull in shape, like a big square. No nice curves, ugly Jumbotrons. Move them back to the renovated OB!
October 19, 200322 yr i like Pro Player. i love going there for Dolphin games, its great. although im to young to remember them playing at the OB i do hear a lot of people say the atmosphere was better
