Cowboys New Stadium To Be Called Cowboys Stadium

The Cowboys' $1.1 billion stadium will be called Cowboys Stadium, team owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Wednesday, according to the Dallas Morning News. Jones had been trying to find a corporate sponsor for the new stadium -- a report last summer in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram had AT&T as the frontrunner -- but the recent financial problems of that company and others halted those plans. "Texas Stadium, we certainly have a deep embedded vision of what it is and, at some point we will say, was," Jones said. "But we'd like to keep it at that. It's certainly fitting when looking at the tradition of the Cowboys for it to be Cowboys Stadium. It sounds obvious and simplistic, but it's right."

I Like it. I'm glad we didn't go with corporate, that means it won't change every 2-3 years like most stadiums do.

In other words, no one was interested in shelling out billions on having their name plastered over a stadium that will forever be associated with failure.

Creative...lol.

I like the fact that it will be called Cowboys Stadium...however, it's not for the right reasons. They couldn't find a sponsor to hand over the amount of jack they were looking for.

^ this.

I hate corporate naming on the stadiums, but it is what it is.

It's won't be Cowboys stadium forever. There is just too much money to be gained.
