Dallas Cowboys owners Gene and Jerry Jones, along with their family, today announced the Dallas Cowboys Art Program, an ongoing initiative to commission contemporary artists to create monumental, site-specific installations for the recently completed Cowboys Stadium.
The program launches with 14 commissioned artworks, which will be installed in prominent locations throughout the Stadium. Franz Ackermann, Annette Lawrence, and Olafur Eliasson are among those who have created new work for the program.
The stadium's design will also enable it to function as a community resource and civic meeting point, with the exterior and end-zone plazas serving as key gathering and entertainment spaces.
Unique among NFL stadiums, these broad boulevards will offer a combination of permanent hardscape and green spaces to accentuate game-day celebrations and year-round activities
The Dallas Cowboys Art Program was conceived, launched, and funded by Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones and his wife Gene. Their daughter, Charlotte Anderson, and niece, Melissa Meeks, have also played prominent roles in the project.
Jerry World will soon welcome Sir Paul McCartney to Cowboys Stadium in Arlington on Aug. 19 when the music icon makes his only stop in Texas during his current tour.
The Cowboys Stadium show will feature classics from McCartney's extensive catalog, including Beatles, Wings and solo career hits as well as selections from his most recent album "Electric Arguments," released under his alias The Fireman.
Tickets for McCartney's show go on sale July 20 at 10 a.m., though American Express card members can purchase advance tickets on July 13 at 10 a.m. through July 19. The show will be Sir Paul's first return to Dallas since 2005.
