Dallas Cowboys Stadum (Texas Staduim) Negative. Super Bowl 45 is being played in COWBOY STADIUM in ARLINGTON Texas. (common mistake) Just FYI: The former home stadium for the "Dallas" Cowboys was indeed TEXAS STADIUM, but that was located in IRVING Texas, NOT Dallas. The Cowboys did initially play in the Cotton Bowl (actually in Dallas) for 11 years after their formation in 1960...until Texas Stadium (Irving) was finished. The current Cowboy Stadium was built with the Super Bowl in mind.
