City and Cowboys - Together for a Winning Experience
Last week, Dallas Cowboys officials met with
representatives of the Mayor’s Committee on People
with Disabilities to discuss game-day accommodations
for the hearing and sight-impaired, and ticket
holders with special mobility needs.
Throughout the city, planning meetings to discuss
everything from public safety and traffic to crowd
management and neighborhoods continue to bring key
officials together daily to review action plans.
Whether its equal access or public access, the City
of Arlington and the Dallas Cowboys organization are
new partners in an effort to ensure a winning
experience for everyone.
At the same time, preserving neighborhood integrity
around the $1.1 billion venue remains another key
focus area.
“It’s the day we’ve all been preparing for,” said
Mayor Robert Cluck who counted himself among a
record-setting 105,000 fans attending the augural
game on Aug. 21. “I am extremely proud of all the
work being done behind the scenes to showcase
Arlington as a world-class city.”
Arlington Fire Chief Robin Paulsgrove said many of
the processes being implemented are becoming best
practices throughout the special events industry.
“Significant change is here to stay,” Paulsgrove
said after Monday night’s Cowboys win over Carolina.
“We're working together and recognizing the
importance of our visitors and guests.”
