Lone Star Stadium of Art
The Wall Street Journal (4/14/10)
Willard Spiegelman
"The Dallas Cowboys didn't make it to the Super Bowl this year, but next February Super Bowl XLV will make it to Dallas-or, rather, to nearby Arlington and its spectacular Cowboys Stadium, which opened last summer to the tune of $1.15 billion. When the 100,000 fans from all over converge in 2011, they'll see something that Dallas fans have experienced all season: real art in a sports stadium."
