Cowboys Stadium will host Super Bowl 2011

The Dallas area will host its first Super Bowl when Super Bowl XLV will be played at new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington on Feb. 6, 2011. Overall, this will be the third Super Bowl held in the state of Texas, as Houston hosted Super Bowl VIII at Rice Stadium in 1974 and Super Bowl XXXVIII at Reliant Stadium in 2004.



With a capacity expandable to 110,000, new Cowboys Stadium will be the largest to host a Super Bowl since the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif. hosted 98,374 fans for Super Bowl XXVII.

In addition to hosting Super Bowl XLV, Cowboys Stadium will host the 2009 and 2010 Big 12 championship games, the Cotton Bowl, the 2010 NBA All-Star Game and the 2014 men's Final Four.
