It took me awhile to find a webcam for the new Cowboys facility. I kind of thought maybe they just couldn't find a land-based camera to get it all in one frame. You think I'm joking? This view is from one of the short sides. The largest domed project in the world. I wondered if the down economy and the troubled bond-market might impact some of the more exorbitant stadium details as opening day draws near, but that appears not to be the case. The Cowboys and City of Arlington got the bond debt re-financed in December (no small feat in this economy) and it's full steam ahead.
The City of Arlington site has quarterly 'scoreboard' reports with pictures of the stadium progress and other information, if you're so inclined. Work continues on the massive videoboard, and seats continue to be installed.
Slightly off-topic: I was unaware that the Cowboys and the New York Yankees got together to create a new concession, catering and merchandising firm last Fall. They borrowed (!) $100 million USD to create Legends Hospitality Management. LHM will provide its services to the teams' new stadiums next year. Interesting to see these two sports powerhouses collaborate.
