Texas Stadium is the home field of the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys. It is located at Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas and opened on October 24, 1971 at a cost of $35 million. The stadium seats 65,675. Built to replace the aging Cotton Bowl, the stadium was to have originally been a domed stadium, but the stadium could not support the weight of the entire roof, and public funding ran out before the roof support structure could be modified. This resulted in most of the stands being enclosed but not the playing field itself. This unusual arrangement - more commonly seen in European soccer stadiums - prompted Cowboys linebacker D.D. Lewis to make his now-famous quip that the "hole" in the stadium's roof was there "so that God can watch His team." The stadium hosts neutral site college football games, and formerly was home to the SMU Mustangs before the NCAA shut down its football program in 1987-88. (SMU has since built its own stadium.) In November and December Texas Stadium is a major venue for high school football. It is not uncommon for there to be high school football tripleheaders at the stadium. During the 1987 high school football regular season, Texas Stadium served as a temporary home for a Dallas, TX area high school, Highland Park High School Varsity football team while a new stadium on campus was being constructed. The 2001, Big 12 football conference championship was held at the site, as well as the 1973 Pro Bowl. In addition to football, the stadium has also been utilized as an entertainment venue, hosting concerts, wrestling events, and even religious conventions.
