The Dallas Cowboys, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the Arlington school district announced its partnership on Wednesday at Workman Junior High School to ensure that the NFL draft in Dallas extends past 2018.

The Gene and Jerry Jones Arlington Youth Foundation, NFL Foundation, and Hellas Construction donated $1.85 million to Arlington ISD to replace the grass at Workman Junior High School with a synthetic turf surface, and to replace lights and the scoreboard.

It’s a big day in the Arlington ISD! The AISD, the @dallascowboys, the @NFL, the @CityOfArlington have come together to announce this year’s NFL Legacy Project: a districtwide competitive field with new field turf, lighting and scoreboard at Workman Junior High!
