At the moment, the Dallas Cowboys have the most expensive stadium in NFL history.
It could be said, however, that the stadium represents the here and the now, considering that the NFL is the biggest revenue generator among the world’s pro sports leagues (and the Cowboys are the most valuable franchise).

His body was not embalmed, but buried in the cemetery next to the catacombs instead.
