Texas Stadium was a football stadium in Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The stadium opened on October 24, 1971.
Built to replace the aging Cotton Bowl, it was the home field of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, and had a seating capacity of 65,675. Ironically the Cotton Bowl still stands as of November 2010 and Texas Stadium is now demolished.
In 2009, it was replaced as home of the Cowboys by the $1.15 billion Cowboys Stadium, which completed construction and officially opened on May 27, 2009 in Arlington, Texas.
The stadium was demolished, by a controlled implosion, on April 11, 2010.
