    The Stadium of Tomorrow

    By Posted on 7.16.2008 6 Comments

    Now that fans can enjoy high-def sports action from their living rooms, stadium owners need to offer more to potential patrons than $8 beer. What can you expect from the stadium of the future? Comfortable seats close to the action, interactive screens that provide real-time game stats, sustainable design, and architecture that directs the roar of the home crowd onto the field.

    Don't know about "a dozen cutting-edge stadium plans". To me, it looks almost exactly like the new Dallas Cowboys stadium slated to open in 2009. Retractable glass doors? Yep, the Cowboys stadium. Steel arches spanning beyond endzone to endzone? In the Cowboys stadium. Retractable roof? In the Cowboys stadium. Center-hung interactive video screens, hung over the field, spanning from 20-yard line to 20-yard line, with two smaller screens on each end? ONLY in the Cowboys new stadium. Only thing missing on your "fly through" is the Star in the center of the field. Don't believe me? See for yourself: http://stadium.dallascowboys.com/
