Dallas, Texas is known as a typical southern town with a lot of southern belles and good ole boys that love their hometown and are proud to often use the term, everything is bigger in Texas. Texans love their sports and the city of Dallas has a great selection of professional sports to watch including the Dallas Cowboys football team, the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, The Dallas Stars hockey team and the FC Dallas soccer team says a Frisco lawyer. Because there are no major college sports teams in the Dallas city limits, their professional teams have huge fan bases, especially the Dallas Cowboys as football is king in Texas according to a Frisco attorney.
The Dallas Cowboys have often been referred to as "America's Team" and have won five Super Bowl championships. They currently play in the newly constructed Cowboy Stadium that was completed in 2009 and is located in Arlington which is just outside of Dallas. Because of their enormous fan loyalty, they have had the most sell out crowds out of any NFL team and were said to be the wealthiest NFL team with the largest revenue earnings by Forbes magazine. Their greatest rival is the Washington Redskins and Sports Illustrated wrote that this is one of the greatest rivals in football history. Some of the greatest past players for the Cowboys have been Roger Staubach, Michael Irvin, and Troy Aiken just to name a few. Their cheerleaders also are the most recognized and popular cheerleading squads in the NFL with their famous short shorts and white cowgirl boots.
For basketball fans, the fans can go to see the Dallas Mavericks play at Reunion Arena. They are a fairly new team as the former NBA team in the Dallas area was the Dallas Chaparrals who later become the San Antonio Spurs. The Mavericks got their start in 1980 under first head coach Dick Motta. Some of the best known players for the Mavericks have been Jay Vincent, Derek Harper and Tim Hardaway. Current player Jason Kidd has the largest fan base.
Also sharing the space at Reunion Arena is the National hockey League team of the Dallas Stars. The team started in 1967 as the Minnesota North Stars and moved to Dallas in 1993 where they modified the name to just the Stars. They have had a solid playing record earning the President's Cup two times which is given to the team with the best overall record. They also won the coveted Stanley Cup championship in 2005 against the Buffalo Sabres in front of a sell out crowd in their hometown rink.
The final professional team in Dallas is called FC Dallas and is the Major League Soccer team there. Their full name is Football Club Dallas and is based in Frisco, which is a suburb of Dallas and were formerly known as the Dallas Burn that got their start in 1996. They play in Pizza Hut Park which a newly built stadium made just for soccer and holds over 20,000 fans.
