NFL Commissioner Supports New Dallas Stadium

Paul Tagliabue, commissioner of the National Football League, pledged further support for a new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, this time suggesting the site could host numerous Super Bowls.

If the Cowboys open their new $650 million stadium in Arlington for the 2009 season as planned, the first time the city would be eligible to host the Super Bowl is February 2011.

Tagliabue also commended Cowboys owner Jerry Jones for his plans to contribute about $325 million for the stadium.After touring Arlington on Saturday with Mayor Robert Cluck and several other stadium supporters, Tagliabue came away with a sense that Arlington could really benefit from a new Cowboys stadium.
