AT&T Stadium is a world-renowned stadium. Housing over 100 thousand people very little of its 3 million square feet goes to waste. It is home to one of the largest HD screens in the world, and a retractable roof. Considered by many to be the most advanced stadium in the NFL, AT&T Stadium is a sight to see and an engineering marvel.
Even at about half a mile AT&T stadium is still enormous and easily viewable. The hundreds of windows covering the sides, add sleekness to the look, while the rafters serve a functional purpose, and they also make it look even more monstrous. An AT&T sign at the top gives a whole new meaning to the saying everything’s bigger in Texas, as each letter is legible from a great distance. Every parking lot …show more content…
is full of brightly colord tents. Each tent is like a fingerprint, from a distance they all look the same, but up close each one has certain features that make it completley different. For the most part they all have the iconic navy blue star thinly outlined in white, but they also have an assortment of pins, bandanas and other accessories to make them each unique. Music is playing but it is unsynchronized and blaring from random places, it is a mixture of loud music to excite everyone for the game, but it just blurs together to make an unrecognizable chaos. The sidewalks are stuffed with people; everyone is in a stampede to get to the gate before it opens. Even in the midst of all the chaos three shirts seem to continously pop up on different people, the dark blue away jersey with the big bolded number four, the boring light gray t-shirt with the lone cowboys star planted in the center, and the all white home jersey with 21 showcased on the front and back.
Up close the stadium turns into the tourist wonder of the world. Around every corner there is something to take a picture with, there’s the classic blue star engraved into the wall, then there’s three feet tall letters that read “Dallas Cowboys”. Traffic flow nearly comes to a halt as everyone pauses to take out their cameras and phones to capture every inch of footballs palace. Just outside the main entrance several shops, flash lights to get your attention. A couple of radio stations have booths on the outskirts of the plaza, and in the center of everything there is a large stage about head high. On stage there is a DJ performing, but he is overshadowed by the most popular attraction which is off to the side, a drum line is playing and has gathered a mob. It is a small group of only eight drummers, but each player is perfectly in tune, every time they hit the drum one sound is heard instead of eight. The side of the stadium from this spot is just one colossal, glass door. While it remains still the glass is nearly impossible to recognize as a door until an electronic motor starts to buzz and the door slowly slides across its track to reveal the inside of AT&T stadium.
The stadium’s interior feels like a completely different planet.
While it swarms the air the first thing that is noticed by most is the smell, one step in and the war,smell of deep fried food surrounds you. It would be overwhelming, but the vast stadium spreads out the aroma as much as possible. People immediately go on a quest to search for the scoreboard,but nobody looks for very long, because stretched from one twenty-yard line to the other lies the oversized HD scoreboard that is unrivaled by any other. Next to the mammoth scoreboard an Imax would look like a tablet, on each side of the main screen there is a smaller screen that is still monumental. Concrete walkways leading to the seats are lined with a tunnel of stores all displaying a lone navy blue star with a white outline. All of the walls are either navy blue or gray, the only other colors in the place come from the glare of the scoreboard’s lights. Every seat is a drop of water in a sea of blue, with the only blemish being the occasional fan for the opponent. At the base of all the grand stands lie a field that is precisely laid green AstroTurf with the only exception being the navy end zones at each end, it isn’t game ready yet. Theatrics for the national anthem and team entrances are set up randomly around the
field.
Jerry world, Cowboys Stadium, the palace in Dallas or Taj Majones, greatness cannot be binded down by one name, and no matter what it is called AT&T Stadium sets up the future for the NFL. It not only has good size; it has the innovations needed to keep it among the best even as newer fields emerge.
