...about the Dallas Cowboys being Americas Team. A controversial issue about the Dallas Cowboys being Americas Team. DALLAS COWBOYS AMERICAS TEAM By Daniel Alvarado Jr. DALLAS COWBOYS AMERICAS TEAM By Daniel Alvarado Jr. ITT Tech Comp I Shelly Dwelly August 31, 2012 DALLAS COWBOYS then and now How the Dallas Cowboys Became Known as “America's Team” The Dallas Cowboys were dubbed, “ America’s Team” however as time passed from the 1960’s to present date there has been so much controversy over why they continue with that crown. The Dallas Cowboys originated in Kansas, the team was known as the “Steers.” After a few weeks, however, the name was changed to “Rangers.” At the same time, a baseball team operated in Dallas under that name, but was supposed to fold before the 1960 football season. However,” when the baseball team decided to play one more season, Clint Murchison Jr. and Bedford Wynne, owners of the new NFL (National Football League) team, selected the name of Cowboys to avoid confusion. Most games in that time were being played in Florida where the Steelers and the Cowboys met for the Cotton Bowl. “(Chris Creamer's December 5, 2011Dallas Cowboys 1960’s to present.) Now that the Dallas Cowboys were created there would be no confusion and it would now distinguish who was who. The Cowboys have been in the NFL for many years, under different ownership to different management. One thing that many fans look at today when it comes to the Dallas Cowboys is the coaching...

...Done by Georgy Volkov Topic: Dallas Cowboys Stadium In order to complete the task, I first write out the financial information: The team value - 851 000 000 $ Total Revenues in year 2002 – 198 000 000 $ The cost of construction of the new stadium - 650 000 000 $ Time to build the stadium - 2 years (2003 and 2005). Costs will be paid in two parts of 325 000 000 $ in year 2004 and year 2005 Rights of the name - 18 000 000 $ per year until year 2035. Stadium rent - 8% of the stadium revenue Private funds - 500 000 000 $, amortization is 15 years, interest rate is 10% They also took a loan from G-3 - 150 000 000 $, amortization is 15 years, interest rate is 7%. Inflation rate is 2,5 % The tax rate is 20 % (I took it so, because there was no information about the tax rate in the case and at that time NFL was tax-exempt. However, this exempt will end in 2015, according to WSJ - http://www.wsj.com/articles/nfl-to-end-tax-exempt-status-1430241845 ) Depreciation is 15 years at 43.33 000 000 $ per year The maintenance costs will be 7 000 000 $ per year In the conclusion I would like to say, that without the help of City of Arlington, the loan form G-3, it would practically impossible for Dallas Cowboys and its owner Jerri Jones to build the stadium. Even the Texas governor passed the bill for people to vote in order to decide, whether to raise the taxes or not to pay for a stadium complex for Dallas Cowboys. Also, I would like to add, that...

In 1988 he won the Jim Thorpe Award for top defensive back. In 1989 he was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons and began his profession football career. That same year he signed a contract with the New York Yankees. In September of 1989 Sanders hit his first homerun for the Yankees along with his first ever punt return for a score as a profession football player making him the first ever athlete to hit a homerun and score a touchdown in the same week. What a way to start your professional career as an athlete. After five seasons with the Falcons in 1994 Sanders signed one year with the San Francisco 49ers. That year Sanders set the NFL record for the most ever yards returned after an interception, with 303, a record that still stands today. He also tied the record for interceptions returned for a touchdown, with three that season. That year he was deservedly voted the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and his team won Super Bowl XXIX against the San Diego Chargers. After one season with the 49ers Sanders signed with the Dallas Cowboys during week 2 of the season, making him at the time the highest paid defensive player in the NFL, and in 1995 helped them defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers to win Super Bowl XXX. In five seasons with the Cowboys, Sanders earned Pro Bowl berths in every single one. Sanders entered...

...The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). They are based in the Dallas suburb of Irving, Texas. The team currently plays their home games at Texas Stadium in Irving, but they are scheduled to move to a new stadium in nearby Arlington in 2009.[1] The Cowboys joined the NFL as a 1960 expansion team.[2] The team's national following might best be represented by its NFL record of consecutive games in front of sold out stadiums. The Cowboys' streak of 160 sold-out regular and post-season games began in 1990, and included 79 straight sellouts at their home, Texas Stadium, and 81 straight sell-outs on the road.[3] An article on Forbes Magazine's website, published September 13, 2007, lists the Cowboys as the most valuable sports team in the world, with an estimated value of approximately $1.5 billion, ahead of the Washington Redskins ($1.467 billion) and the New England Clint Murchison, Jr. and Bedford Wynne were awarded a National Football League (NFL) expansion franchise on January 28, 1960, located in Dallas, TX. At the annual meeting, they purchased the team for $600,000 (Bohls 1). They were given the status of a “swing team” meaning that they would play every other team in the league their first season of play. They were displaced in the Western Division Standings. Murchison’s and Wynne’s next moved was to high their front office personnel which were:...

Rewind time back to around 20 years ago, no team ever looked forward to playing against the dominating Dallas team, nearly undefeated, Emmitt Smith blowing through the defense with the help of Nate Newton and Daryl Johnston, Michael “The Playmaker” Irvin making passes that were nearly impossible, Charles Haley on defense putting fear into the quarterbacks and running backs of the teams going against him. An undefeatable army. Now, you’re probably thinking that with every great army is an even greater general. Which...

...generating industry. The NFL is an intricate industry made up of a multitude of revenue driving facets of business the franchises within the leave so prosperous. From actual ticket sales and personal seat licensing, to numerous types of media coverage, to sports apparel, to performance effects, to even beverage endorsements, the valuation of a professional sports team is not a simple task. In 2010, the 32 teams in the NFL generated over $8 billion dollars in revenue and were valued at a collective $33 billion. Those staggering numbers are generated through a multitude of different econometric analysis and different approaches to valuing the net worth of a team. Cost-asset based approach, income approach, and market/sales comparisons are a few ways that analysts and investors can value a team. For purpose of specificity, I plan to focus on the novelty effects of the Dallas Cowboys new Cowboys Stadium on revenues and the overall value of their organization. (Dallas Cowboys are privately owned, thus public financial information is not available so other resources were used) Does a new stadium have a positive effect of an NFL team? Well, that question kind of seems vague and challenging to answer. Inevitably it would seem that players would want to play harder in a newer facility, thus improving the performance of their game, in turn spurring larger attendance rates which would generate more revenues. However, it is not as simple as that, as there is much to analyze in term of costs that...

...keep trying it is all worth it. When he was in high school, he studied to be a priest before transferring to St. Francis High School, where he became a star fullback. He received a scholarship to Fordham University in 1933. There he studied law but in his heart he always wanted to coach football. His first coaching job was at ST. Cecilla High School in 1939, where he coached basketball, football, and baseball; he had championship seasons with all of them. He later left there and became an assistant coach at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He told all of his teams: “winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing” (Norwood). This means, if you do not win, no one will remember who you are. He taught his players that winning is the only thing and losing is not an option. Tom Landry had a different past, but he also always wanted to coach all of his life. He always dreamed of becoming a Dallas Cowboy’s football player, ever since he was a boy. When Landry played football in high school, he learned everything about the game of football and became a great quarterback....

...not found in a 1950s-era stadium. But the choice of what to do was anything but clear to President Wisner. His vice president of development, Leslie Gardner, had presented three options: (1) expand the existing stadium to 75,000 seats, adding numerous luxury skyboxes and upgrading most of the yardline seats to include comfortable backings; (2) build a brand-new stadium three miles from campus on land, worth about $3 million, donated by a team booster; and (3) signing a 10-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys football team to rent their stadium, 28 miles away, for a fee of $200,000 per game. Each of these options had clear benefits—yet each had at least one very strong negative as well. Expanding the current facility carried a $12 million price tag, with an annual fixed cost of about $1 million and with a variable cost of about $1 per attendee. If the job were not completed in the nine-month off-period between seasons, the team would be left without a home field on which to play in 2004. This meant reneging on contract dates with powerhouse teams that were signed some 3 to 4 years earlier. Contract violations are not a matter taken lightly in the NCAA or the Big Eleven Football Conference.

...annual league meeting in Miami Beach. The Cowboys were to play as a "swing" team, playing every other team one time during the first season, although listed in the Western Division standings. On September 24th the Cowboys host the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Cotton Bowl in their first official game. The Cowboys held the lead into the 4th Quarter but watched helpless as Quarterback Bobby Lane led the Steelers to a 35-24 come from behind win. The Cowboys would go to lose their first ten games before earning a tie with Giants in New York, in the next to last game of the season. The Cowboys would go on to lose their final game of the season to close out their inaugural season winless at 0-11-1. 1961: Now in the Eastern Division, the Cowboys started their second season at the Cotton Bowl on September 17th still seeking their first win in franchise history, playing the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thanks to Kicker Allan Green's 27-yard Field Goal, the Cowboys won 27-24 win, to start the season 1-0. The Cowboys would go on to win three of their first four games, beating the expansion Minnesota Vikings twice. However, once Dallas faced the rest of the league it was back to reality as they finished with a 4-9-1 record. 1962: The Cowboys began to show some promise in year three, as their offense scored the second most points in the league at 398, on the way to a 4-3-1 start. However, the defense allowed the second most points in the league, and the Cowboys lost five of their last six to finish...

...had looked forward to, Super Bowl XLV played in Cowboys Stadium Arlington, Texas was a frustration for many people. While 850 people were accommodated in different places, 400 people had to give up their seats. Today, any kinds of institutions are increasingly utilizing benefits of project management, especially for the projects that involve hundreds of people. Therefore, it would not be wrong to say Super Bowl XLV was one of the events that could have benefited from project management. As known, project management starts with planning. It sets the goal of the project, emphasizes critical points and provides opportunity to be ready for possible negative outcomes while project proceeds. It works like guidance throughout the project. However, it should be open to revisions because problems faced as project proceeds might require modifications. Also, it should be capable of answering a long list of what-if questions. Essentially, it is the most important step because most of the time failures during the project stem from mistakes made in planning phase. For sure, the mistakes made in Super Bowl XVL case go back to planning stage. It was known that Super Bowl XLV would be played at stadium of Dallas Cowboys years ago. The stadium was built with flexibility of increasing capacity by temporary seats in 2009 and stadium configuration was part of the Host Committee bid approved by NFL four years ago. In addition, Dallas Cowboys hadn’t had host game in last fifty days prior to...
