DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - When AT&T Stadium opened in 2009, it was viewed as one of the crown jewels of stadiums in all of sports.
13 years later, it still has a similar shine to it. But since its opening, other NFL teams have built newer stadiums that have taken away some of the allure of the stadium known as Jerry World, including SoFi Stadium in L.A., U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
But with the World Cup set to hold several matches at AT&T stadium in 2026, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is reportedly planning $295 million in renovations to his stadium, Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal reported on Friday.
"The work is not intended to radically alter the general look and feel of the 100,000-seat venue, sources said, but is instead designed to refresh premium spaces ahead of some key lease renewals and upgrade technology and other back-of-the-house services ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup."
The Cowboys have only hosted one Super Bowl at AT&T Stadium. And the metroplex was besieged by a snowstorm in the week leading up to the big game. The Men's Final Four is also coming back to Arlington in 2030. The tournament was previously held at AT&T Stadium in 2014.
