What should be the official name for JerryWorld?

Barring an 11th-hour miracle, the Cowboys aren't going to sell naming rights for the new stadium before it opens. Stephen Jones said they've settled on a non-corporate name, but they're not ready to announce it yet.

Right now, the working name is Dallas Cowboys New Stadium, which didn't exactly catch the KRLD listeners' fancy. Here's the results from a KRLD poll this morning:

Tom Landry Stadium ... 52%

Cowboys Stadium at Arlington ... 25%

Other ... 19%

America's Stadium ... 4%

Dallas Cowboys New Stadium ... ZERO %

And KRLD should change its name to KRUD

Ferchristsakes, get over Tom. That was the past.

Jimmy Johnson Pro Stadium.

He, and what he did in Dallas, and Jerra are the architects of the new stadium.

I'm getting a little tired of the whole Jerry World crap! It just has such a negative connotation to it.

Like to know who the bitter, sub-moronic ****** was who first coined it.

It's a dig at Jones and for no good reason. OK, he wants the Cowboys to play in the worlds best stadium. How dare he! Who the hell does he think he is anyway.

I just don't get the bitterness. At least not on this topic. How is this a bad thing for the Cowboys or North Texas?

He's sunk so much of his own money into the darn thing. It really means something to him. To help improve the Cowboy's image, it's brand. And it's not just about a return on the investment. Because there's much better things he could do with his money to earn a return.

Anyone want to offer some thoughts on this?

BTW - I'll take for a name in order, any of the following.

America's Stadium
America's Team Stadium
North Texas Stadium
Cowboy's Stadium

I couldn't agree more. When I first read "Jerry's World", I thought it was a rather smug remark by some *******. I'm tired of reading and hearing it.

The Cowboys new stadium will not have the word America anywhere near it. Yes, we have been dubbed America's Team, started by NFL Films long ago, but you can forget the stadium being named that. Dallas Cowboy's Stadium seems about right for now.

What I would really like is for the new stadium to be called Texas Stadium. Why change something that was so great from the start? This brand new venue should represent the great state of Texas as a whole, just like the old stadium did.

Either "Texas Staduim"

or

"Lone Star Stadium" (Lone Star Field).
