Jerry's World, hosting the world.
The most-instantly-recognisable indoor stadium in American sport. Jerry Jones built it in 2009 for $1.3 billion; the retractable roof and end-zone glass doors are the signature.
The pitch is the rebuild every WC venue is doing — out: artificial turf the Cowboys have played on for 16 years, in: a natural-grass bluegrass blend installed three weeks before the first whistle.
The slate: nine matches. Group stage, knockouts, and one of the two semi-finals. Only MetLife has more.

09 · Stadium trivia
Five facts for the Texas heat.
For the Texas Live! line before kickoff.
Biggest end-zone glass doors in sport
The glass doors at each end open to outside · 60 feet tall, world's largest. They make the bowl feel semi-open even when the roof's shut.
World's largest HD video board · opening day
When it opened in 2009, the centre-hung video board was the biggest in any stadium on earth. Bigger boards exist now — AT&T was the standard-setter.
$1.3 billion to build
When it opened in 2009, the most expensive stadium ever built. MetLife (2010), Yankee Stadium (2009) and SoFi (2020) have all since taken the crown.
Hosted every major US sport
NFL, NBA, NCAA football, NCAA basketball, college football championship, soccer, boxing, motocross, WWE. No US stadium hosts a broader sport slate.
Built on the site of a former rail yard
Demolished the Six Flags train depot to build the bowl. Arlington's been arguing about it since.
