Texas Stadium was a historic sports arena located in the city of Irving, Texas. It was the home stadium of the Dallas Cowboys football team from 1971 to 2008. The stadium was known for its unique architecture, featuring a hole in the roof that allowed natural light to shine onto the field.
The stadium had a seating capacity of over 65,000 and was one of the largest domed stadiums in the world. It was also one of the most recognizable sports venues in the United States, thanks to its distinctive design and the success of the Cowboys during their time there.
In addition to football games, Texas Stadium hosted a variety of other events over the years, including concerts, monster truck rallies, and even a presidential inauguration. It was also the site of several memorable moments in sports history, including the famous "Hail Mary" pass from quarterback Roger Staubach to receiver Drew Pearson in a 1975 playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Despite its popularity, Texas Stadium was eventually replaced by the newer AT&T Stadium in nearby Arlington. The old stadium was demolished in 2010, but its legacy lives on through the memories of the countless fans who attended games and events there over the years.
