The new stadium, currently under construction, is set to open in the summer of 2009. With a capacity of 80,000 fans, expandable to 100,000 for major events, it is set to host Super Bowl XLV following the 2011 NFL season, the annual AT&T Cotton Bowl, the 2009 and 2010 Big 12 Championship Football Games and the annual Texas A&M University vs. University of Arkansas football game.
“Bringing the storied tradition of Notre Dame football to the new stadium in Arlington to take on a national power like Arizona State makes this an exciting day for all of North Texas,” said Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones. “Our region lives and breathes football, and I can’t think of a better place to showcase two of the nation’s top programs than right here at our new home.”
“We’re thrilled to have a chance to return to North Texas where Notre Dame football has had such a rich tradition, particularly through our appearances in the Cotton Bowl over the years,” said Notre Dame Director of Athletics Kevin White. “We’re also excited that both our players and our fans will have a chance to experience a football game in what will be a state-of-the-art facility as designed by the Cowboys.”
"We are excited to participate in this unique college football event in the new, state-of-the-art stadium the Dallas Cowboys are building in Arlington, Texas," said Arizona State Director of Athletics Lisa Love. "We believe this will be a magnificent game for our fans and alumni. Our coaching staff recruits the state of Texas, and this will only serve to assist in that area."
