DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – The City of Dallas is becoming more aggressive when it comes to professional sports.
During the first ever meeting of the Dallas City Council Ad-Hoc Committee on recruiting and retaining pro sports teams, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson didn’t hesitate to identify the issue.
“The City of Arlington, the City of Frisco, the City of Grand Prairie, and the City of McKinney have been cornering the market on the sports business, slowly but steadily over many years,” Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson pointed out during Tuesday’s meeting.
The Mayor said it’s Dallas’ turn to step up.
“It’s long past time that the City of Dallas play to win these franchises, and play to win these events,” Mayor Johnson insisted.
The mayor said getting to that point means more than just adding another NFL team in the metroplex, as he has suggested. But Johnson doubled down on his belief that the city could more than support one.
