$1.15 billion stadium gives the Cowboys braggin’ rights | Houston Texans Football | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "Cowboys Stadium is taller than the Statue of Liberty and longer than the Empire State Building is tall, except for the antenna mast. The two arches that support its curved walls, retractable roof and massive end-zone glass doors are each twice as long as the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.
With its unique standing-room porches, it will hold more fans — perhaps as many as 125,000 for a future Super Bowl — than the state’s previous standard, Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin. Yes, it’s bigger than Reliant Stadium, Texas’ “other” retractable-roof football palace, although Reliant came first and inspired certain elements of its design.
And its HDTV screens — 73 feet high, 160 feet long, suspended 90 feet above the playing field — are bigger than your big screens."
