This week, the Dallas Cowboys joined local and state officials
for a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Cowboys Stadium. Ring of
Honor guests and Dallas Cowboys coaching staff joined Owner Jerry
Jones for the ceremony that marked the completion of five years of
construction.
From the singing of the national anthem by the Hockaday School
Choir to fireworks and sky divers, guests applauded the City of
Arlington for a job well done.
“We are extremely proud of the citizens of Arlington for helping us
build this magnificent Stadium,” Mayor Robert Cluck told special
guests. “Without their support, this building would not have been
possible today.”
Jerry Jones thanked the involvement of family, friends and
supporters who inspired the $1.1 billion project. He told special
guests that it was public interest in the Cowboys franchise that
carried the organization through some of the toughest financial
times to date.
Following the remarks, giant retractable doors were opened amid
fireworks, marching bands, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and media
cameras.
On June 6, country music star George Strait will open the stadium
with a concert. The Cowboys will play their first preseason home
game in the new Stadium on Aug. 21 against the Tennessee Titans. The
game will be broadcast nationally by FOX. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
