New Cowboys stadium has distinctive roof hole
The hole in the new Dallas Cowboys stadium’s roof is starting to look like the one at its predecessor, Texas Stadium.
Crews continue to erect steel beams from sideline to sideline, and an outline of the roof hole has taken shape. Construction manager Jack Hill said installation of the retractable roof, which will open and close over the hole, will begin in September.
So far, $600 million has been spent on the stadium, according to a city document released Friday. The city’s portion, capped at $325 million, is $296.6 million to date.
Hill said interior finishes such as cabinets and sinks are being installed in the Silver level suites. There are more than 300 suites in the stadium, which range from $100,000 to $500,000 per suite per year.
1,500 workers on site every day
73 percent of the roof steel completed
90 percent of the precast concrete treads and risers inside the bowl completed
