Jerry Jones | Dallas, TX. | July 27, 2009





Producer Notes



I Am American Business


Everything's big in Texas. So the term, "it defies description" is totally apropos when it comes to Jerry Jones' new 1.1 billion dollar baby, "Cowboys Stadium."

The largest:

- domed structure in the world

- operable glass doors (each 120' high)

- HD LED display (72' high by 160' wide.)

Those attributes are only a few of the many elements that set this 100,000 seat venue apart from the competition. Part museum, part night club and part sports stadium, the goal was to make something extra ordinary - and he has succeeded. The owner of America's Team glows with pride when talking about this media center that will be do more than be home to the Cowboys. George Strait, The Jonas Brothers and the World Football Challenge have been a few of the events held there in preparation for the first Cowboys game on August 21, 2009. And while there are still sections of the stadium that are under construction, it's not hard to imagine Mr. Jones walking around at any time of day or night checking on every detail, right down to the light bulbs.

Not unlike the stadium, Mr. Jones is larger than life. This self-proclaimed delegator with a "meddling reputation" is totally approachable and down right neighborly. But he sets the bar very high for himself and the organization - the yearly goal of winning a Super Bowl is anything but ordinary.
