Newsletter of the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University
The new $1.5 billion Cowboys Stadium, designed by Bryan Trubey, an Outstanding Alumnus of Texas A&M’s College of Architecture, received praise from nationally recognized architecture writer David Dillon in the Dallas Morning News.
“Cowboys stadium has presence and pop, extroverted like the team's owner but rigorous and disciplined in its construction and detailing,” wrote Dillon. “It is a piece of serious architecture in the middle of an architectural wasteland where ‘good enough for Arlington’ has been the prevailing attitude,” he wrote in the Morning News’ June 3 edition.
Trubey, a design principal at HKS, Inc., received a Bachelor of Environmental Design degree from Texas A&M in 1983. His stadium design is one of many recently built National Football League facilities.
“The stadium is easily the best of the current crop: more open and accessible than the Arizona Cardinals' home in Phoenix, more rational than the hapless renovation of Soldier Field in Chicago,” he wrote.
