Texas Stadium has been the home field of the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys since 1971. It is located in Irving, Texas, a suburb of Dallas.
Built to replace the aging Cotton Bowl, the stadium was to have originally been a domed stadium, but public funding ran out before the roof could be completely constructed, resulting in most of the stands being enclosed but not the playing field itself. This unusual arrangement prompted Cowboys linebacker D.D. Lewis to make his now-famous quip that the "hole" in the stadium's roof was there "so that God can watch his team."
The playing surface installed in 1971 was officially labelled Texas Turf, and was a form of AstroTurf; it was replaced by a somewhat softer surface in 2002.
