Dallas Cowboys officials are in Indianapolis on Wednesday to make the case that North Texas is ready to host its first NCAA men's Final Four basketball tournament in at least 26 years. If they succeed, this would add to the already prestigious resume of the new $1.1 billion Cowboys stadium that's under construction in Arlington. The stadium is six months from completion, but it has already landed the 2010 NBA All-Star game and Super Bowl XLV in 2011. A Final Four in 2012 would give it three of the county's largest sporting events in consecutive years.

When did the NBA All-Star game become one of the 3 largest sporting events? I recall NASCAR qualifying beating the crap out of some big NBA games in ratings last year.

Well, it did say "county" and not "country", but I'm guessing that was a typo.

They can have the NBA All-Star game. It was a total traffic nightmare when Atlanta had it (ok, an even bigger nightmare than usual).

The new Cowboy's stadium is going to be a finanicial nightmare for either the Cowboys or for every other "big league" city in the country. It remains to be seen which it will be.
