Dallas mayor Eric Johnson believes his city is deserving of a second team
NFL on CBS tweeted on Thursday asking which city deserved a team if the league were to announce one.Cowboys“The answer is Dallas,” Johnson tweeted. “Why? We are about to pass 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 would be able to sustain 2 NFL teams better than LA or NY.
As Johnson said, New York City, the No. 1 metro, is home to the Giants and the Jets. The No. 2 metro Los Angeles is now home to the Rams and Chargers after both teams moved there within the last six years. So, adding a second team in the area wouldn’t be a new NFL concept. AT&T Stadium, home of the Cowboys, is located in Arlington, which is west of Dallas right between the city and Fort Worth. Johnson added a thread stating that the new team could be located in the southern Dallas area.
On top of that, the mayor thinks an AFC team would be best to add to the area since they already have an NFC team. This could set up a potential Super Bowl matchup. New York and Los Angeles both have an AFC and NFC team. “We need an AFC team that plays in Southern Dallas,” Johnson tweeted. “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 Super Bowl…in the City of Dallas?”
