ARLINGTON (CBSDFW.COM) - Preparations are underway at AT&T Stadium in Arlington for Sunday's big show. The 50th Academy of Country Music Awards will broadcast LIVE for the first time ever from the stadium.

It is a busy day at the stadium with the stage and seats being readied for the show. Set-up began last month.

There will be three stages, a VIP seating area and a standing room.

Mark Neifeld, AT&T stadium event manager said they had to make the stadium into a television studio.

Musicians and stars are already arriving in North Texas for a weekend of activities leading up to Sunday night.
