The Super Bowl is Coming To North Texas in 2011
With the embarrassing crash of all of the area sports teams (Cowboys, Mavs, and Stars all exit early in the playoffs, and the Rangers just plain stink) this year, the only good news we have had here lately is the Dirk MVP. But now my fellow North Texicans, I can tell you now that you should start saving your money. The Wrestlemania of Football, The Super Bowl is coming to Arlington in 2011.
The new Stadium is not even finished yet (currently scheduled for a 2009 debut) but the NFL owners have selected the D/FW area to host the Championship game in 4 years. We fulfilled (many of) the NFL's requirements that were needed. A first class Golf Course (what does golf have to do with football) in the area, 10,000 Rental Cars, 90,000 Hotel Rooms, 11,000 Luxury Hotel Rooms, 38,000 area Restaurants, and permission for surrounding bars and restaurants to serve alcohol until 4 a.m. after the game (no, but the NFL is free to petition the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission).
The big concern of this deal so far, Arlington is the largest city in the country without public transportation. And anyone who has been to a Ranger game can tell you, the traffic in that area sucks.
