ARLINGTON, Texas — The sprawling new $1.15 billion home of the Dallas Cowboys is nearly sold out for the 2009 season.

Team spokesman Brett Daniels says Cowboys Stadium in Arlington is 95 percent sold out. A few thousand season tickets remain.
Daniels on Wednesday told The Associated Press that more than 22,000 “Party Pass” tickets, at $29 apiece, have been sold.
The ticket is essentially standing-room only, with 180,000 square feet built into the stadium specifically so fans can hang out during games. Much of the space is on decks and patios.
The retractable-roof stadium has capacity of about 100,000 for football, with 300 luxury suites. The Cowboys play their first game in the new stadium on Aug. 21, facing Tennessee in a preseason matchup.
