Stadium 2026 World Cup host Arlington, Texas

Could AT&T Stadium go solar?

Few roofs in world sport rival AT&T Stadium's retractable shell. Its scale shows in the numbers: roughly 53,000 square metres could host around 19,300 panels, about 7.7 MW. Home to the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington under some 1,840 sunshine hours a year, a full-roof array might produce an estimated 11.0–13.4 million kWh — near 4,500 homes' worth. A theoretical ceiling for solar on AT&T Stadium.
