Dallas named number 1 sports business city in the country

[Diehardblues]

DALLAS - When it comes to sports and business opportunities, Dallas tops the list.

A new report from the Sports Business Journal ranked Dallas and the surrounding area as the No. 1 spot in the country to conduct sports business.

Aside from the number of major sports venues in the area such AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, the American Airlines Center and Toyota Stadium, the report mentions the high number of sports companies that are headquartered in DFW.

For example, PGA of America recently moved its headquarters after building a $550 million development in Frisco.


Many corporate sponsors now call the Dallas area home and several major sports organizations have moved their big events to DFW such as the PBR’s World Finals and the ATP’s Dallas Open.

The Dallas area even has the country’s first pro cricket stadium, which is being built in Grand Prairie.


Full story below along with local TV coverage with comments from Dak and others local sport’s celebrities.

Mods title should be #1 sports business. If you can add the “ # “ I’d appreciate.

Thanks

AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field aren't even in Dallas County

If you’d watched the telecast it was recognizing North Texas . And it’s not uncommon for us locals to call anywhere in the greater Dallas area, just Dallas or DFW. Cause if not for Dallas none of suburban surrounding areas would be pertinent.

This is primarily about money.

So much money is spent on sports in DFW.
There are elite youth sports organizations across all sports.
Pro sports are also big business.
Low taxes for sports organizations.

I tried adding the # last night, and would not take it. Was on my iPad. So tried it today from computer and still would not. So just put...Number ... instead.

We are number one at everything besides actual football. You know, blocking, tackling, running, etc.

All the main sports plus more

Texas Motor Speedway is a big deal too.

Also, several College athletic conferences make their headquarters here (Big 12, American, CUSA, others?)

There’s much more to the story here but don’t want to derail this thread.

Texas is basically a very friendly business state but it’s near the bottom in education and healthcare.

It’s a great example of the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

When are they getting another Super Bowl? I figured they would be in the mix or rotation to host one at least every 8-10 years. Need to get Captain America on it. He'll straighten them out.
