DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - The Dallas Cowboys ushered in a new era when they moved to AT&T Stadium in Arlington in 2009.

The 3 million square foot venue is the largest NFL stadium ever built.

Highlighted by progressive architecture and a retractable roof, AT&T Stadium stays true to tradition by incorporating elements of the Cowboys former home of Texas Stadium.

The crowning jewel of the $1.2 billion football palace is the 60-yard-long video board that hangs from the center of the stadium.
