About Texas Stadium#
Texas Stadium was a large American football stadium in Irving, Texas, that served as the home of the Dallas Cowboys from 1971 until 2008. The venue was notable for its distinctive roof with a large central opening.
As a demolished venue it is now a historic reference rather than a visitor site; photographs and plaques around the former site record the stadium’s role in Dallas sports history. While standing it hosted NFL games, concerts and large events with seating for tens of thousands of spectators.
The stadium opened in 1971 and became an iconic home for the Dallas Cowboys through the 1970s, 1980s and beyond. After the team moved to a new facility, Texas Stadium was demolished in 2010 and the site redeveloped for other uses.
Texas Stadium was located in Irving in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, near Arlington and Dallas, with easy access from major regional roads.
- Distinctive roof feature: The stadium was famous for its partial roof with a large central opening, a distinctive design feature often described as a ‘hole in the roof.’
- Cowboys era: Home of the Dallas Cowboys from 1971 until the team moved to a new stadium in 2009; the structure was demolished in 2010.
Tips for Visiting Texas Stadium#
- Texas Stadium was demolished in 2010 and no longer exists as a spectator venue; visitors looking for Dallas Cowboys history should head to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, which houses the team's main exhibits and tours.
- If you're researching the former stadium site, check local Irving resources for any commemorative markers or redevelopment info rather than expecting an intact stadium to visit.
