ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — A towering tribute to late Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry has a new home.

A 9-foot-tall bronze statue of Landry has been moved to the nearly $1.2 billion Cowboys Stadium in time for Sunday's home opener against the New York Giants.

The statue of Landry, who died in 2000, previously was at Texas Stadium in Irving, where the Cowboys played before moving to their new retractable-roof stadium this year.

Landry was 270-178-6 with Dallas in his 29 years as head coach, thru the 1988 season.
