Cowboys Stadium Built With Soccer (?!?!) In Mind
The state of Texas represents just about everything in stereotypical modern American culture, writ large. From oil dollars to pickup trucks to immigration issues to oversized meal portions, Texas is everything that people worldwide think of when they think America. Its sports teams represent that oversized, brash stereotype too. The Dallas Cowboys have long been famous for hubris and controversy on top of their success on the field.
(It only looks like a football stadium…)
Their new stadium continues that tradition. Cowboys Stadium is a billion-dollar monument to everything good and bad about American culture and excess, and is a stadium perfect for the over-the-top Cowboys and their caricatured oilman owner Jerry Jones. Which is why it was somewhat surprising to hear that it was designed for soccer. Yes, soccer.
