NEW YORK -- The Dallas Cowboys wrested the title of the NFL's most valuable franchise from the rival Redskins, knocking Washington off the top of the list for the first time in eight years, according to Forbes magazine's annual survey.
Thanks to a new $1 billion stadium set to open in 2009, the Cowboys' value increased by 28 percent -- by far the largest jump among NFL teams this year -- to $1.5 billion. They climbed from third to first in the rankings, leapfrogging the Redskins ($1.467 billion) and the New England Patriots ($1.199 billion).

Everybody knows what this means..... Danny Boy will have to raise our ticket prices.... He HATES being outdone.

Who cares. When the economy goes down the shitter, Jones and Snyder are both going to have a hard time filling the stands at $80 a pop, as even the govt is downsizing. The time for fun and games is coming to an end.

I dont care.

I only care when it directly affects my pocket. I mean the beers went up $1 this year from $7 to $8 but the ticket prices stayed at $99 (lowers). If this means that our owner will raise our prices, then it will piss me off. Who cares if they are the most valuable? Its not like Jones or Snyder is going to sell them anytime soon.
What really matters is the win loss record.

Enjoy it while it lasts. But you'll still be playing in a toilet bowl.

Not hardly. If the economy is hurting it doesn't effect the rich. Those stadiums will ALWAYS be FULL!

$80 a pop where.... Arizona? face value and reality price are two different things.

I have to admit, their new digs are pretty righteous.

Except for having another unfinished roof. Playing their games in something resembling a toilet bowl just suits them. Their old stadium was an embarrassment, they had to leave a hole in the roof because they ran out of money and couldn't afford to repair the structural problems during construction. So...this time they actually PAY to make the stadium look like they ran out of money and had a bad set of blueprints. :cheeky-sm

This artist's rendering, provided by the Dallas Cowboys, shows an interior view of the bowl with an open roof of their new $ 1 billion football stadium being built in Arlington, Texas.

Just wait until you get that property tax bill, Jerry.
