ARLINGTON — Workers began installing air-conditioning duct work for the Dallas Cowboys stadium last week.
The system will keep the stadium at 78 degrees when it is 100 outside. The equipment can move 1.1 million cubic feet of air per minute, stadium construction manager Jack Hill said.
About two-thirds of the stadium’s 50,000-square-foot limestone base is complete, Hill said. Workers are nearly done with half of the skin of the roof, which consists of white PVC sheets.
Crews also began installing the fourth main truss that frames the opening of the east end. Two other trusses were being installed to hold up the scoreboard that hangs from the center of the roof, Hill said.


If you have ever been to Texas Stadium on one of those 100 degree (or 90) days this is some GREAT NEWS !!!!!......

Amen... I attended one game at Texas Stadium, and it was a Monday nighter, but it was the season opener, and at kickoff it was still 90 degrees... with 60,000 of us crammed elbow to elbow... I tell people I now have a fair idea how a pizza feels when you pop it into the oven... it was better out on the concourse, at least there was a breeze moving out there...

I can't say my sympathetic imagination goes out to ya, bear. I was there with the girl of my dreams the day Tony Romo broke the TD per season record.

It snowed through the the RETRACTABLE roof top; and my toes felt numb (between plays, of course). I was so P'd at Jerry that day.

I guess when you're the Cowboys, you leave the roof open for show even if it means slippery turf for you players and cold fans in the stands.

I'm still scratching my head on that one.

Hey Ben........Texas Stadium does not have a retractable roof...just a roof
with a hole in it.
I too was there that snowy day and loved how all the grown ups applauded
the snowfall like they were going to get out of school early that day.
So don't blame Jerry

A Cowboys fan who doesn't know that Texas Stadium doesn't have a retractable roof?

Hang your head in shame boy.

Wimps!! Try sitting in the south end end zone, in August, at Sun Devil stadium when it's 112. The sun don't go away 'til it sets. Then it's a comfy 108.

Ouch Hostile (and all you others), you guys all missed the entire point of his post. He said he was there with the girl of his dreams (yeah right) on the day Romo broke the single season TD record...which he hasnt done.....yet. It was a fictional day in the Cowboys future, one in witch Romo will break the record, it will snow, and some "dream woman" will be in attendance.

Now hang YOUR head in shame :laugh2:

 

[Hostile]

How can you not know that???

I hear this man has a theory about that and has a question to ask Ben.

 

[silverbear]

Man, you guys are BRUTAL!!!

I'm not catchin' this much crap for posting a year old article over on the Politics Forum...

Okay now I dont know if he was there WITH the girl of his dreams or if he was there dreaming of A girl or not.
WHAT i do know is on Thanksgiving Day it did snow, for a short time , through the HOLE in the NON-Retractable roof of Texas Stadium.
I also know that game was against the Jets, ROMO tied Danny Whites single season record with his 29th TD pass, which he later broke, finishing with 36 TD passes for the season.
I also know that once the temps hit 100 its hot no matter if you are in Texas or Arizona, AND...it never keeps me from going but that doesnt mean
i cant gripe and moan about.

Bear, I apologize. I can't help myself.

We expect people not to know anything about politics, but a Cowboys fan not knowing about his own cathedral...
