Successful Meetings - November 2008 - (Page 132) Meeting Sites Dallas Metroplex PHOTOS: DALLAS CVB World renowned conductor Jaap van Zweden with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra; below, a new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys will open in 2009 An area known for its cutting-edge attitude tinged with warmhearted TEXAN PRIDE, the Dallas Metroplex has a lot to crow about when it comes to meetings these days. Dallas’s new slogan, “Live Large, Think Big” describes not only the heart of a city built on big dreams, but a determination that looks to be finally bringing Dallas a convention headquarters hotel, along with a substantial companion renovation at the Dallas Convention Center. But the action doesn’t stop there. Sister cities Irving, Arlington, and Fort Worth are working on exciting projects of their own. Irving will be trading Texas Stadium for a new convention center and entertainment complex. Arlington will debut the massive new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys, and Fort Worth is getting a new convention headquarters hotel.
