The Dallas Cowboys aren't using their stadium anymore (4-12) ... but it's still being put to good use -- with Michael Bay transforming it into a giant movie theater for the world premiere of '13 Hours.'
We're told roughly 30,000 PEOPLE are expected to show up to AT&T Stadium Tuesday night in Arlington to watch the flick on the MASSIVE 180-foot-by-72-foot screen!!!
Tons of celebs are expected to show ... plus, the real life heroes from the siege in Benghazi -- John Tiegen, Mark Geist, and Kris Paronto -- will also be in the audience.
