It wasn't long after voters in Missouri rejected a sales tax that would have provided funds to renovate Arrowhead Stadium that Dallas mayor Eric Johnson tweeted a message essentially inviting the Chiefs to move to Dallas.
He tweeted the following on his X (formerly known as Twitter account)
He then continued his push to get a 2nd NFL team in the Dallas area, specifically in the city limits; the Cowboys play in nearby Arlington.
"Dallas was named the top sports city in the United States because we play to win," he said. "As I have said previously, our market is big enough, growing enough, and loves football more than enough to support a second NFL team—especially a franchise (and an owner) with deep roots here."
It was Lamar Hunt who initially founded the Dallas Texans in 1959, and they played at the Cotton Bowl until their relocation to Kansas City. Hunt's son Clark calls Dallas his home currently.
“You can be rest assured that you would not have the NFL supporting another team because of the kind of value that the game and the NFL receives of having [the] Dallas Cowboys as one of its marquee teams and again, logic tells you [the NFL] wouldn’t want to water that down,” Jones told The News in June 2022.
Can you imagine a 2nd NFL team in the Dallas area and in direct competition with the Cowboys for fans, viewership and money?
