In 65 days there will be football at Cowboys Stadium. And it will be before a sold-out crowd. NFL lockout be damned, LSU and Oregon will play in the Cowboys Classic Sept. 3. With 80,000 tickets already sold, standing-room only seats could go on sale as early as next week. Without the NFL,...

Guess they're testing it for the Texas-North Carolina hoops game Dec.19 at Cowboys Stadium. Either that, or I'll betcha $1 that Mat McBriar hits JumboJerry Sunday against the San Diego Chargers...

JumboJerry: You Too?

Don't really get U2 so I'm not live on the scene in Arlington, but one of my faithful Sportatorium readers sends word (and the above photo) from Cowboys Stadium that U2's monstrosity of a stage wouldn't exactly fit under JumboJerry so it had to be, um, moved to one of the end...

Aug 31, 2009

Back in 2002 when I was at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram we first started getting wind that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was toying with the idea of building a new stadium. "Gather some ideas, solicit some fan feedback and let your imagination run wild," my editor told me at the...

The day Jerry Jones introduced the world to his huge new TV screen, gamers wondered what it'd be like to plug in their PlayStation and have a game 90 feet above the Cowboys Stadium field.Well, wonder no more. While the stadium opened up to season ticket holders for Saturday's open...

While watching this tour of Cowboys Stadium, keep reminding yourself that Tashard Choice is third string. Third. The video, shot after a recent OTA, includes cameos by Marion Barber III, Roy Williams, Jerry Jones and the Jonas Brothers. And it's hosted by the chattiest of Cowboys, who apparently owns a...

The Cowboys unveiled their humongous new home in Arlington this week, with owner Jerry Jones delivering a keynote address about how the $1.15 billion stadium is a sign for struggling Americans that times will get better.Not sure how much of that stadium cost was invested in pyrotechnics, skydivers or marching...

Jerry Jones invited his friends in the media out to the Cowboys' new digs in Arlington yesterday, to show off the enormous new video board that'll hang 90 feet over the field (just 90 feet!).On the way out to check out the screen, we got to snap some photos inside...
Delay of Game ... Dallas Cowboys

By Richie Whitt
Mar 23, 2009

Shockingly, this one isn't on No. 76. In fact, it's a good thing. At least I think it is. You tell me. The Cowboys last week mailed letters to all 2009 season-ticket holders, informing them that their dues for tickets and parking is surprisingly being delayed. Originally due April 1, customers...
Jonestown Coliseum: Affordable?

By Richie Whitt
Feb 24, 2009

By no means is it a steal. But perhaps a deal? When the first Jonestown Coliseum ticket prices were announced last year, we all fainted via sticker shock: 4 lower-level seats on the 35-yard line - adding in $340 tickets, $75 parking and 30-year seat options - cost over $150,000...

By Richie Whitt
Dec 1, 2008

The Dallas Cowboys have already sold 85 percent of the tickets to their new stadium in Arlington. Go ahead, act surprised. But, deep down, did you really think Jerry Jones would have trouble selling out his new Jonestown Coliseum? I didn't. I went to Circuit City last week...

Nov 19, 2008

This just in: Dallas has officially moved to Arlington. Well, after Arlington's new Jonestown Coliseum snared another 100,000-kilowatt event this morning, that feels like the score. Right? On the heels of Dallas being shunned by the women's Final Four last week, the Cowboys' new stadium today landed the 2014 men's...
This Just In: Dallas Moving to Arlington.

By Richie Whitt
May 28, 2008

The beast that ate Dallas. Is it possible to up and move a river? Because if so, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will slap a “wide load” banner on the Trinity River project and steer it toward Tarrant County any day now. And the JFK museum, and Deep Ellum and the...
Jonestown Just Got, Um, Affordable?

By Richie Whitt
May 16, 2008

Jerry Jones is an ego-maniac. A cold-blooded, bottom-line businessman. A ruthless competitor hell-bent on acquiring the biggest, baddest toys on the planet. And, lest I forget, a friggin' genius. Exhibit A is yesterday’s announcement of the pricing for about 50,000 reserved, season-ticket seats at the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in...
Another Cool Sporting Event You Won’t See in the City of Dallas

May 8, 2008

This joint is already jumpin'. Okay, it’s not that cool. Unless you’re a fan of Arizona State or Notre Dame, that is. But it is a sporting event. And, no, it ain’t coming to Dallas. In a deal announced just moments ago, the Sun Devils and Fighting Irish have agreed...
