AT&T Stadium Is Getting a $295 Million Upgrade
by David Seeley | Dec 12, 2022
Jerry World is still a marvel to millions, but it's not quite as cutting-edge as when it first opened in 2009. Now the Dallas Cowboys are about to do something about it, with $295 million in upgrades planned for AT&T Stadium.
That's according to a report by Sports Business Journal, which says the refresh won't "radically alter" the look and feel of the 100,000-seat stadium. Instead, most of those millions will go toward refreshing premium spaces that are set for lease renewals, as well as upgrading back-end systems and technology in the run-up to the 2026 World Cup.
