Mark Penny to Discuss Cowboys Stadium Construction Project at January PMI Dallas Chapter Meeting

Addison (Dallas), TX, USA - Now that the Dallas Cowboys hold the NFC East Division Championship, the talk around the watercooler is all about the Dallas football team. In fact, speculation hasn't been this hot and heavy since the battle raged regarding which city would win the bid for the new Cowboys Stadium. We all know who won that contest - Arlington, home of Six Flags Over Texas, the Texas Rangers, and numerous other attractions. So, what has been going on since Arlington stepped up to the plate and broke ground on the new stadium?

Find out on January 10, 2008, when the PMI Dallas Chapter holds its monthly meeting at the Crowne Plaza North Dallas/Addison, with a presentation titled, "Construction Project:
Dallas Cowboys Stadium." Mark Penny will discuss the construction of the Dallas Cowboys' Arlington stadium, give the background of Manhattan Construction Company, and address the top ten risks faced by the project management team on the Dallas Cowboys new stadium. Mark Penny is the Project Executive for Manhattan Construction Company, the lead contractor on the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium in Arlington, TX.

Born in London, England, Mark grew up in Houston, TX. After receiving his degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1993, Mark went to work in the commercial construction industry moving from location to location (including internationally) as the work required. Mark worked on a variety of projects including toll roads, prisons, community colleges, major golf resorts, telecommunications facilities, and most recently the FedEx Forum in Memphis, TN (home of the NBA Memphis Grizzlies.)
