Cowboys Stadium Features Suite Installation
By Tom LeBlanc
Suite includes a Crestron-controlled waterfall, nine TVs and custom close-ups of the field.

To watch the game on TV or get tickets and go to the stadium: that is the question for dedicated football fans.

TV coverage is so good — the camera angles, not necessarily the announcing — that many fans prefer the comfort of their home to the first-hand experience.



Two Dallas Cowboy fan gets the best of both worlds with their uber-high-tech private suite in the new Cowboys Stadium.

A general contractor put Steve Elliston of Dallas-based Elliston Systems & Design in touch with the suite owners, who also own Traxxas, a remote control car company. That combination resulted in a very ambitious install.

9 TVs — Most suites in the new Cowboys Stadium feature three flat-panel TVs. Not bad, but this suite features five Samsung LED TVs and four Samsung LCD TVs. There is one in each of the two bathrooms, plus two are largely dedicated to two wireless computer stations.

Camera Feature — Installed in a smoked glass ball, “sort of like a casino camera,” near the partition between the inside of the suite and its outdoor seating is a 30x zoom controllable camera.

The owners can pan, tilt and zoom the camera using his Crestron control system. They can zoom in on the field and view it on any of the nine TVs. That allows the owners to go beyond the network TV coverage and create their own close-ups.
