While the "current building boom in sports has produced venues longer on fan comfort than on character," Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones has added "some character to the $1.15[B] palace" that is Cowboys Stadium, according to Rick Gosselin of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS, who ranked the facility No. 1 among the NFL's 31 current stadiums. Fans "have to look up to find the character" in the stadium -- "two of the world's largest replay boards." The boards "top off the crown jewel of football stadiums." Gosselin: "There's a reason Jerry Jones waited until the end of the league's building boom to construct his new stadium. He built the best stadium in the NFL, and no one will be able to match it now for 30 years" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 9/9).
