This thread is all about coming to terms with reality (no pun intended to the CZ senior moderator)

Since AT&T stadium is the home base, and it's located in Arlington Texas, then it goes that the proper name of the team commonly referred to as the Dallas Cowboys is really the Arlington Cowboys. You might call it blasphemy, I call it logic based on geography.

Besides, shouldn't the Arlington Cowboys EARN the right to be called the Dallas Cowboys? Just as Bill Parcells made rookies earn the star on their helmet, why not make this current franchise earn the right to be associated to the legacy of "America's Team"?

The New York Giants and the New York Jets are both located in New Jersey.

The Cowboys stadium hasn't been within the city of Dallas since they played in the Cotton Bowl (I think Texas Stadium was put in use in 1972 or 1973).

The city of Arlington accepted the team with the current name (as did the city of Irving before that), Besides, why would Jerry agree to any of this anyway? He has very successfully marketed the Dallas Cowboys.

As for the comparison with making rookies earn the star on their helmet, you can't reasonable compare putting a decal on a helmet with changing the name of the franchise and all the merchandise and everything else associated with the team

First game in Texas Stadium was in October 1971. Dallas beat the Patriots that game. Duane Thomas score the first touchdown.

If they named them after any other city in the area, most people wouldn't know what state they're in. Dallas is the only choice.

Arlington isn't even in the same county as Dallas. Arlington is in Tarrant County with Ft.Worth.

The Cowboys haven't played in Dallas since 1971. Last year in the Cotton Bowl .

So it's not the largest suburb in the Dallas Fort Worth area?

Arlington is not in Dallas. It’s borders don’t even touch Dallas. If you want call Arlington a suburb of a larger city (though it’s population is over 300k), it’s a suburb or Fort Worth. Dallas/Fort Worth or DFW is not a city. It’s name to describe the area or region.
