Dallas Mayor Wants Chiefs to Join Cowboys in City, Says It Can Support 2nd NFL Team

After voters rejected a ballot measure to approve public funding for renovations to Arrowhead Stadium, Dallas mayor Eric Johnson is making a push for the Chiefs to move to his city.

In a statement to Everton Bailey Jr. of the Dallas Morning News, Johnson said he believes Dallas is "big enough, growing enough" to support a second NFL franchise in the market:

"Dallas was named the top sports city in the United States because we play to win. As I have said previously, our market is big enough, growing enough, and loves football more than enough to support a second NFL team—especially a franchise (and an owner) with deep roots here.
