Dallas mayor wants another NFL franchise

The are the most valuable franchise in the . Like them or hate them, the Cowboys are a ma sive draw in television ratings, have one of the five most expensive stadiums built in the league (ATT Stadium) and one of the four largest in seating capacity.Dallas even had the largest crowd to attend a NFL regular Nickeil Alexander-Walker Jersey -season game in the United States, as 105,121 people were in-person to see the debut of ATT Stadium. The Cowboys led the NFL with an average attendance of 93,421 in 2021 -- the only team to average over 80,000.The Cowboys are a prestigious franchise in the NFL. But having the Cowboys around isn't enough for Dallas Mayor , who posted on social media last week the city of Dallas should play host to two NFL franchises if the league expands. The answer is Dallas. Why? We are about to pa s the Chicago metro and become the #3 metro in the US, which would make us the largest US metro WITHOUT 2 teams. Football is king here. Dallas needs an expansion team and we Kira Lewis Jr. Jersey would be able to sustain 2 teams better than LA or NY. Mayor Eric Johnson (@Johnson4Dallas) "We need an AFC team that plays in Southern Dallas," . "It would never want for a fan base or attendance or support from the City of Dallas. Who wouldn't want to see a Dallas versus Dallas ... in the City of Dallas?" Johnson also on social media that the "City of Dallas won't be allowing any more teams who don't actually have any of their a sets located within our city limits use our name." The mayor mentioned Frisco -- which is 28.5 miles north from Dallas -- as a candidate for that second team. Johnson specifically mentioned the or as candidates, foregoing the expansion route altogether in this scenario."So if the NFL wants the Frisco Chargers or Frisco Jaguars to be their next expansion team," Johnson said. "That's their call."There's only one voice that can make a second happen in the Dallas George Hill Jersey area -- Jerry Jones. The Cowboys owner has the rights to approve or deny any team in Frisco or their regional market rights. The Cowboys practice facility, The Star, is also located in Frisco -- so it's hard to fathom Jones actually approving another team in that area (or anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth market). Johnson still wouldn't back down from trying to get another team in Dallas, even if Jones has the ultimate say. So far the main reason I hear for why this cant happen is because of Jerry Jones. Well, first, lets not put words in Mr. Joness mouth. Second, I work for the residents of Dallas, not Jerry Jones. Third, other NFL team owners also do not work for Jerry Jones, but themselves. Mayor Eric Johnson (@Johnson4Dallas) "So, if a deal can be made that benefits the NFL, the other owners, the City of Elfrid Payton Jersey Dallas, and po sibly the Cowboys, it's a no-brainer," . "But here's the rub: if it benefits all of the stakeholders I just mentioned except Jerry Jones, does that mean a deal couldn't/shouldn't E'Twaun Moore Jersey happen?"I'm not so sure and it's my job as mayor to ask these types of questions when my city and its residents stands to benefit. I'm both a sports fan and a lover of Dallas. If L.A. and N.Y. can both support an NFC and an AFC team, then Dallas, the capital of football, surely can!" The Cowboys may have not won a Super Bowl in 27 years -- nor reached a conference championship game -- but Jones' franchise is still the talk of the town. A second team in the Dallas area is a pipe dream, unle s Jones sees a way his franchise -- and stadium -- can turn a ma sive profit off a venture while his franchise makes even more money.
