June 24, 2025, Frisco, TX – The Dallas Cowboys have made waves today, announcing a jaw-dropping $650 million renovation plan for AT&T Stadium, aiming to redefine it as the NFL’s most cutting-edge venue. Revealed on Tuesday, the privately funded project has ignited excitement among Cowboys fans, with details emerging via ESPN.
After months of tense negotiations, the overhaul will boost the stadium’s capacity from 80,000 to 94,000, surpassing MetLife Stadium’s 82,500. The Cowboys will shoulder the full cost, with construction slated to begin in 2026 and wrap up over three years. “This is a game-changer for our fans and our franchise,” owner Jerry Jones boasted, his enthusiasm palpable.
Since its 2009 debut, AT&T Stadium has dazzled with Super Bowl XLV and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but this upgrade takes it further. Expect upgraded video boards, expanded luxury suites, and revamped fan zones, all designed to preserve the venue’s iconic atmosphere, according to team insiders. The project, led by HKS Inc., builds on the stadium’s $500 million foundation.
The deal settles a lease dispute with Arlington, extending Cowboys’ control to 2055 without taxpayer funds—a move fans hail as a bold statement. “This is our cathedral, and it’s getting even better,” a fan cheered on social media, riding high from the 2024 season’s momentum.
Adding 14,000 seats and top-tier amenities, the renovation responds to the $85 million economic surge from the 2024 international game. As the Cowboys gear up for their opener against the Eagles, this transformation hints at a new era of dominance. Can it spark another Super Bowl? Stay locked on ESPN for updates.
