AT&T Stadium
AT&T Stadium (formerly known as Cowboys Stadium) was introduced to the world on May 27, 2009, when country singer and Texas-own George Strait performed in front of 60,188 fans. A few months later, on September 20th, and 4 years to the day after the stadium ground was broken, the Cowboys played their first regular season game versus the New York Giants. The attendance on this historic night was 105,121. Although AT&T Stadium’s listed capacity is 80,000 people, the standing room only areas on the east and west side of the stadium referred to as Party Passes ($29) gives the stadium the potential to hold up to 105,000.

The electrification of Cowboys Stadium's retractable roof was developed by VAHLE, Inc. These Kinetic Architecture fundamentals will be employed in order to create quick conversions of the facility to accommodate a variety of events. When the design was officially unveiled on December 12, 2006, it showed that, from inside the stadium, the roof (membrane installed by K Post Company of Dallas) will look very similar to the Texas Stadium roof, with its trademark hole. However, it can be covered by the retractable roof panel to protect against the …show more content…
The Cowboys do not retire jerseys to honor their past greats, they have the Ring of Honor. The ring has 21 names of legends and continues to grow. It's a great extra element to the overall experience to be reminded of past Cowboy greats like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Roger Staubach, and Tony Dorsett, among others. There is also a nice statue of Tom Landry near the ticket booth and Pro Shop. he Dallas Cowboys Art Collection features 27 different art works located throughout the stadium from various artists. Fans can enjoy an array of large glossy historic photographs that can be found throughout the stadium depicting some of greatest moments in Cowboys history. AT&T Stadium offers four different types of stadium tours: VIP guided, unguided, audio art tour, and a guided art tour. The stadium also opens for a limited number of days during the season for Rally Days, which offers fans the chance to take a self-guided tour, meet former Cowboys players, take pictures with the Super Bowl trophies, and enjoy appearances from the Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys is owned by Mr. Jerry Jones. He is the owner, president and general manager of the organization. Mr. Jones takes it upon himself to be involved in every aspect of his organization. This organizational structure is very different to the conventional NFL structure where the general manager, president and owner are usually three different persons who report to each other in that order. This structure allows Mr. Jones to make moves where he only in principle has to answer to himself.
Second of all, the designers incorporated the Baltimore skyline with its open style “park” as opposed to the bowl style prevalent in the 1970’s.
Tickets ran anywhere from $40.00 to $55.00 for the five hour long show. The wait to get in was some what frightening due to a check point like station everyone had to be searched at. Police and security guards patted each and everyone down for drugs, weapons, and what ever else they could try and stop.

The two essays’ “Usl at the Stadium” by Rivka Galchen and “From is Shaming Necessary?” by Jennifer Jacquet express that society should not shame individuals if it is something that is not sever. Because the shamers’ tend to shame others because they feel like there is no other alternative or way for people to see or understand them. Shaming others can put them in dark spot that can be hard for them to get out of. If shaming is to be used as a punishment then it should be used for serious problems like drunk driving and criminal offenses.
On September 24, 1960 was the first game played for the newly expansioned Cowboys. The game was played at the Cotton Bowl which was the home stadium for the Cowboys, which is also the University of Texas home stadium. That was the highlight of the year as they went through the season winless until the second to last game of the season. They were playing the New York Giants in New York and squeaked out a tie, ending the 1960 season with a record of 0-11-1 (Fleming 1).

In the heart of downtown Los Angeles nestled within the valley of Chavez Ravine lies Dodger Stadium. Overlooking green valleys and rolling hills with the skyscrapers of the city behind it, Dodger Stadium appears as the epitome of peace in bustling Los Angeles. Few would fathom that beneath this sanctum of the Los Angeles Dodgers resides a village of Mexican Americans. Critics ranging from muralist Judy Baca, to academic writers Tara Yosso and David García, to the people displaced themselves argue that the creation of Dodger Stadium can never be justified because it destroyed a village. The construction of Dodger Stadium served the common good according to the definition given in the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences. The demolition of Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop was the fault of the City Housing Authority (CHA), not owner Walter O’Malley who capitalized on Chavez Ravine at the right moment. O’Malley was primarily a businessman who was in charge of the team to make money in order to satisfy thousands of customers while supporting the club’s workers. Finally, the majority of people living in Los Angeles supported the addition of a baseball team which would in turn benefit the city itself.

... still feature a guitar shaped score board 100% of which those surveyed liked. Several fans stated that the scoreboard, which is shaped like a huge guitar, is iconic. It is unique to Nashville and lifts up our musical heritage. Though they would like to see an updated version they seemed nostalgic in wanting the fixture to be present in the new stadium. Tickets are already on sale for the inaugural 2015 season. Many older fans of the Sounds are happy about the location of the new park. The historical significance of the area brings back fond memories of their childhood watching the old Nashville Vols play. There will most likely still be Fireworks Fridays and Ozzie, because this is business in America. But there will also be baseball, with father and son watching unknown heroes trying to fulfill their American dream of playing baseball in the Major Leagues.
Abstract: The Stadium construction boom continues, and taxpayers are being forced to pay for new high tech stadiums they don’t want. These new stadiums create only part-time jobs. Stadiums bring money in exclusively for professional leagues and not the communities. The teams are turning public money into private profit. Professional leagues are becoming extremely wealthy at the taxpayers expense. The publicly-funded stadium obsession must be put to a stop before athletes and coaches become even greedier. New stadiums being built hurt public schools, and send a message to children that leisure activities are more important than basic education. Public money needs to be used to for more important services that would benefit the local economy. Stadiums do not help the economy or save struggling towns. There are no net benefits from single purpose stadiums, and therefore the stadium obsessions must be put to a stop.

In Major League Baseball, stadiums can affect the game dramatically by the size and by the way the dirt is laid out and how the weather is as well. The baseball teams and players can be affected by this in their major life physically and mentally. Major League Baseball is a prominent organization in our daily life. The game is very important for most people. The game is a lifestyle to people as well. Baseball has changed over the years. For instance, Pete Palmer states, “The way baseball is playing right now is completely different from the past” (Palmer, summary, 2014). A very helping part of baseball are baseball stadiums. For example, ballparks of america says, “... ballparks are amazing, they help us play” (ballparks of america, summary,
To make the stadium more effective, many changes must be made. These changes range from the installation of solar panels, to less tvs. Solar panels, for instance, would generate energy for the stadium, using less from coal plants and nuclear power plants. If installed correctly, the profit return from these could be in the next 7 years. They have the potential to power most of, if not the whole stadium. This could be easier if more efficient stadium lights were in place.
At 8 years old, the world wasn’t much outside of playing football in the backyard with my friends. Just being in Ypsilanti, Michigan was good enough for me. Seeing the atmosphere of Lambeau Field was a whole different world. As a child, Lambeau Field in Wisconsin was like heaven on earth. I will never forget traveling to watch the Green Bay Packers play, and dreaming of playing in the NFL one day.
