AT&T Stadium opened on May 27, 2009, when country singer and Texan George Strait performed before 60,188 fans. A few months later, on September 20, four years after the stadium’s groundbreaking, the Cowboys played their first regular season game against the New York Giants. Attendance for that memorable occasion reached 105,121, a number that remains a record for a Cowboys home game and the highest attendance for a regular season game in NFL history.

AT&T Stadium is the world’s leading stadium and has set multiple attendance records. In addition to being the home of the Dallas Cowboys, it has hosted major events including Super Bowl XLV, the NBA All-Star Game, the Big 12 Conference Football Championship, the annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, high school football championships and WrestleMania.

The stadium has gradually turned into a fortress, and in 2023, the Dallas team dominated its home stadium, finishing the regular season without a single loss. The advantage of playing at home was evident in the team’s winning streak last year. Their last regular-season home loss came in Week 1 of the 2022 season, leading to an impressive 16-game home winning streak during the regular season that still stands today and is the 12th longest in NFL history. Should the team score three more wins at home, they will surpass the franchise record of 18 consecutive regular-season home wins.
