I am no engineer or stadium expert, but in my estimation, that big peace of metal could be hoisted by pulley and with block and tackle and shield our brave QBs from the afternoon rays.
If Yoda acquiesces to me idea I hope he sends me tickets. In the shaded area of the stadium.

Ol' Texas Stadium NEVER had any pieces of its structure fall down on to the field or anywhere within the stadium.

The cost of building Texas Stadium was $35 million, which is equivalent to $263 million in 2023 dollars. The stadium opened on October 24, 1971, closed on December 20, 2008, and was demolished on April 11, 2010.

In comparison, the cost of building AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, was originally estimated at $650 million but ended up costing $1.15 billion. This made it one of the most expensive sports venues ever built at the time.

Jerry and the taxpayers of Arlington got bamboozled by whomever built Jerry's Stadium.

Jerry said maybe we should just tear the whole stadium down and God said lemme get ya started
Honestly......if you haven't been to that stadium.....it's so overhyped. It's not that well constructed....or thought out. :popcorn:

The fact our kicker just about tore a hammy because they threw down some carpet after that Netflix fiasco....ought to tell you where our owners head is.....It's all about $$$$. Sadly.....definately not about the players safety.

Exactly, it's ridiculous how these stadiums are forced upon the local taxpayer.

We had to re-sign Dak and CeeDee this year and something had to give. Stephen cut the facility maintenance budget because we can’t afford 2 players AND maintain an NFL stadium. They think money grows on trees or sumthin?!
