Announced this morning, George Strait, Reba McEntire will headline along with Blake Shelton and Julianne at the June 6th Opening Event. The New Cowboy Stadium has been slated to open by June, let's just hope it's very early June!
Of course most North Texas residents have eagerly been anticipating an inside glimpse of this massive venue, the largest stadium in the NFL. Not only will it seat 80,000 people it will have the tallest glass retractable doors in the world opening in just 17 minutes. The field is 50 feet below ground level, and it is tall enough to hold the Statue of Liberty. Another world record breaker is the massive video board suspended 110 feet over the center of the field. It will run from 20 yard line to 20 yard line, and 50 feet tall - ok , so YES, everything is really bigger in Texas!
I have to admit that een I can't wait to be inside this place, but I don't think it will be for he George & Reba concert. I'll wait for the Boys to play or the TX/OU game, or the Cotton Bowl. Maybe 'll just hold out for he 2011 Superbowl. Afterall, I might have to save that long to afford my seat!
