Cowboy's new stadium

They said during the game last night that funding was approved and it would be ready in 2009. reports i was hearing were saying that it was going to be something crazy like 110,000 seats. passing fed-ex as largest stadium. do you think snyder would get in to a try to best them.extra seats etc..

The stadium in Dallas will have a retractable roof and that will put Dallas into the "Super Bowl Hosting Rotation". The size of the field is not the issue to Danny Boy; he wants a Super Bowl to host so he can be the person who gets to show everyone how wonderful his playpen is.

If he goes to his hip to try to out-do the new Texas stadium, it will be to build a facility that can host a Super Bowl

There is no more room left in FedEx for extra seats. If he wants more seats, he's gonna have to start from scratch, which isn't feasible considering FedEx is < 10 years old.

FedEx holds well over 80,000 right now doesn't it?

Isn't that enough for a while? Jeez

I prefer the atmosphere at smaller stadiums for NFL games. the redskins have a college sized stadium....the problem is, they don't have 25,000 people living on campus to roll out of bed drunk and go to the game.

I never went to RFK for a skins game, but I heard it was a much superior atmosphere.

RFK held 55-60k, fedex can hold 95k i believe... the big problem is there's not enough pavement to keep the traffic flowing as well as many fans would like...

The problem is getting tickets for a reasonable price!

touche...

im not saying it needs to get bigger but wouldnt danny want to try to out do a division rival.

Would Danny Boy want to outdo another owner? Of course he would. That's why he owns this team in the first place.

Question is if he is willing to put up with the cost and the grief to try to outdo the other owner.

SUPPOSE that Jerry Jones really and truly builds a stadium with a retractable roof that seats 105,000 to 110,000 people and gets on the rotation to get a Super Bowl in Dallas every 6 or 7 years. I'm not convinced that is gonna happen, but SUPPOSE it does.

Now what can Danny Boy do? Would any of the govermental units around here agree to put up the money for a stadium for him? I don't think so.

Would he be willing to dip into his own pocket to build a new playpen on his own nickel as JKC did? Maybe - but that remains to be seen.

Do you recall that it took JKC about 5-8 years to get a jurisdiction to agree to let him build a stadium in their area when he was going to pay the freight for the construction? So, if Danny Boy wants to move in that direction, he might be well advised to start planning now. If he starts tomorrow, hi may have a site for the building approved in about 2012 meaning it might be finished by 2014. And by then FedEx Field will be a dinosaur...
