We love it when something wiggles its way outside of the proverbial box — which is why we were more than intrigued when we first heard about the art program at the new Cowboys Stadium, while the $1.15 billion arena was still underway. Could it be? Commissioned contemporary art in a sports stadium? Turns out, it was all true. And now that the wraps are off the 3-million-square-foot marvel and the works of art inside it, the resulting crash of pure art with pure sport is more thrilling than we even expected. The ongoing program, says inimitable collector Howard Rachofsky, just one of the stadium’s A-list art advisers, “is a significant way in which art is brought out of traditional venues, sequestered from broader popular culture, into its appropriate place in the public domain.” Did you catch that? Art’s appropriate place: the public domain. We concur. Read more about the stadium’s game-changing art — and see some of the monumental works — on pages 32 and 33. Hey, if it takes field goals and touchdowns to expose Little Tony Romos and Junior Joe Montanas to stranded-cable sculptures and site-specific acrylic paintings, we’re all for it. Go, Cowboys!
