The City of Arlington is leading a regional effort to bring
Super Bowl XLV to the North Texas area in 2011.
The game would be played at the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
This week, elected officials from throughout the North Texas area
joined Cowboys officials to support the formation of a Super Bowl
Bid Committee. The bid application is due to the National Football
League in April 2007. The selection could be announced in May 2007.
On Thursday, the North Texas Commission Board of Directors approved
a resolution, pledging their support for this effort to further
enhance worldwide prestige for the region, and to create
“substantial economic activity and positive fiscal impacts for local
taxing jurisdictions.”
“This regional effort has an economic impact of hundreds of millions
of dollars that will allow us to fund efficient, better government,”
said Arlington Mayor Robert Cluck. “We urge all businesses, cities,
counties and citizens throughout the region to join in and support
this positive enterprise.”
