AT&T Stadium, NFL football stadium in Arlington, Texas, US
AT&T Stadium is a large NFL football stadium in Arlington, Texas, and serves as the home of the Dallas Cowboys. It features a retractable roof supported by two tall arches and a giant video screen suspended above the playing field.
The stadium was built between 2006 and 2009, replacing the old Texas Stadium that the Cowboys had used since the 1970s. It originally opened under the name Cowboys Stadium before a naming rights deal with AT&T gave it its current name.
The stadium holds a permanent art collection with works by well-known contemporary artists placed throughout the building. Visitors walking through the concourses encounter sculptures and large-scale installations in unexpected spots, giving the place a feel that goes beyond a typical sports venue.
On game days and major events, it is worth planning your arrival in advance since nearby parking fills up fast. The stadium is not directly on a commuter rail line, so many visitors use rideshare services or shuttles that run for specific events.
AT&T Stadium is the only NFL venue to hold a permanent art gallery with works commissioned specifically for the building. Visitors can join guided art tours on non-game days, which makes the stadium a destination in its own right, separate from any sporting event.
