You think I can save up enough money to buy a ticket? $20 a week for the next 4 years should do it, right? I'll buy them the day of at the box office. There should still be tickets left. I mean, it's not like it's a big deal or anything.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Seats matter.

The 2011 Super Bowl will be played at the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium in Arlington, Texas, where the NFL will be able to fit thousands more fans into the stadium for its showpiece game.

NFL owners voted Tuesday for the North Texas group, which had Hall of Famer Roger Staubach lobbying on its behalf. The Cowboys' $1 billion stadium seats up to 100,000 and will open in 2009. It has about 27,000 more seats than the other finalists' stadiums in Indianapolis or Arizona.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the actual crowd ticketed at the game could reach 120,000, with fans being able to watch video screens at each end zone.

"Everyone has always told me, 'I wish we could get more fans in the Super Bowl. I wish we could do that,'" he said. "I think the fact we can have 100,000 people in the stadium is important because it includes that many more people in our biggest event in the NFL."

The Cowboys' new stadium, seen in this artist's rendering, will host the 2011 Super Bowl.

NFL owners also reviewed recommended standards concerning concussions during their one-day, spring meeting. Medical decisions will override whether a team needs a player to play and also would include whistleblower protection for reporting when a doctor is pressured to clear a player.

"Medical considerations must always have priority over competitive situations," commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement.

The Indianapolis bid featured the Colts' domed stadium opening in 2008 and was backed by a Top 10 list by David Letterman with a presentation by Colts coach Tony Dungy. Arizona hosts the 2008 Super Bowl on Feb. 3 and hosted the 1996 Super Bowl in Tempe.

Tampa, Fla., hosts in 2009, followed by a return to South Florida in 2010. Texas has hosted the Super Bowl twice -- in Houston in 2004 in the Texans' new stadium and in 1974 at Rice Stadium.

Jones said the vote went to a fourth ballot, when the winner needs only a majority.

"I think every other aspect of our bid candidly was stronger than Dallas' but for the size of the stadium," said Fred Glass, president of Indianapolis' bid committee. "So based on that, that's the only thing I can think of that was the deciding piece."

Indianapolis also lost to Minneapolis in bidding for the 1992 game, and Colts president Bill Polian said owners told him and team owner Jim Irsay that Indy should bid again.

"I don't think those were idle words of consolation," Polian said. "They were true feelings. The committee did as good a job as anyone could possibly do. We just came up a little short."

Indianapolis came in with a strong bid, apparently overcoming winter weather with its downtown walkways. The committee also came in with $25 million already committed to help pay the costs associated with hosting the game.

Dungy helped tout the city's experience hosting big events like Final Fours, the Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400 with track president Tony George on hand. Letterman's Top 10 was capped by No. 1: His mom's tailgate party.

Staubach countered with Texas' long football history, especially his 2-2 record as a player in Super Bowls. Temperatures can be chilly in February in Arlington, but the Cowboys' new stadium will have a sliding roof that can protect fans.

"We're going to work real hard to live up to the responsibility we have of winning this bid to make it the best Super Bowl that's taken place in 45 years," said Staubach, chairman of the bid committee. "We're thrilled about it."

Arizona didn't tap any big names in making its bid to become a part of the Super Bowl rotation like Miami, which hosted the game in February and is on tap for 2010. Mike Kennedy, chairman of the Arizona Super Bowl host committee, said visitors can enjoy the weather.

"Arizona is the best Super Bowl venue in the United States year in and year out," he said.

Unfortunately, Arizona's bid may have been hampered more by staff problems for the game in February and asking the NFL to pay for improvements to a stadium that opened last August.

If I ever step into that stadium, I'll probaly be more interested in the stuff in it rather than the game itself.

well people actually say the game in itself is irrelevant to what happens on that weekend.

This game is in Arlington. The media will not be pleased. We will here comments on the level of Jacksonville. This superbowl will be one and done for the region. They should have put the stadium in the City of Dallas instead of a soulless boring shithole of a suburb such as Arlington. Jerry and the seahag fucked up. They had something at Fair Park. Now the events will be spread out. One team will stay in Fort Worth, the other will use Valley Ranch? The media will stay at the Gaylord Resort in Grapevine and throughout Dallas. Most of the people will stay and play in Dallas because the city has more hotel rooms then the rest of the metroplex COMBINED. It's too damn spread out and the region will be killed for it.

that stadium is going to be fuckin tight

The City of Dallas didn't want to play ball with Jerry, and Arlington took advantage. Couple that location with the Rangers and Six Flags, and you have yourself a nice entertainment complex in the making.

However, the media as well as the fans will not care about that. They want to know where the party is at and how easily accessible it is to events. Most of the events will happen in Dallas. Especially in Victory, West End, Deep Ellum, and an improved downtown.

I remember when the MLB all star game was in Arlington. The media killed the region because the stadium was so far from the city of Dallas. Expect to see it again in 2011.
