Arlington Seeks Fast-Track Approval of $273M Cowboys Stadium Deal

A trial is scheduled for Monday in Fort Worth over whether the city of Arlington can use $273 million in tax revenue for operations and maintenance costs at AT&T Stadium over the next two decades. A group of voters argues in a lawsuit that is not what the money was approved for.

The city claims the lawsuit is delaying a deal with the Dallas Cowboys that would extend its lease by 15 years, keeping the franchise in Arlington until 2055 and potentially bringing an economic impact of $9.7 billion.
