God will still be able to watch them play...

Scootypuff was telling me about his observation that you can tell who the holders of power are in a given society simply by looking to who has built the prevailing architectural spectacles of the time. Well, with that logic, it looks like the business of sports is mighty powerful.

Jerry Jones unveiled the details of the new stadium for "America's Team" last night. With a capacity up to 100,000 and a cost of $1 billion, the new home of the Dallas Cowboys sure lives up to the team's Texas-sized reputation. Two retractable roof panels, weighing 2.1 million pounds each, will allow the top of the stadium to be partially closed. Partially, because it will retain the distinctive hole in the roof. Hanging above midfield will be a 600 ton video screen that's 60 yards long. Check out the rest of the Dallas Morning News interactive tour here.

But after reading about all this, what is my only complaint? They're using synthetic turf. Bummer.
