Welcome home, Dallas Texans!' Dallas mayor chimes in after KC Chiefs stadium vote fails

DALLAS — Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson isn't letting go of the idea of a second NFL team in North Texas.

Johnson on Tuesday night posted a link to a story about Missouri voters rejecting the Kansas City Chiefs' proposed stadium renovations. Officials for the Chiefs, who are owned by the prominent Hunt family of Dallas, have suggested the team could explore moving from the Kansas City area, if the deal fell through. It's not clear if that's the case, or if another stadium renovation deal could be proposed.

But Johnson entered the chat.

"Welcome home, Dallas Texans!" Johnson posted on X, followed by a smiling emoji and "#CottonBowl."

Johnson then re-posted radio commentator Mark Davis (not to be confused with the Las Vegas Raiders owner of the same name). Davis, in response to Johnson's original post, had said the mayor "told me some months ago that a second NFL team was on his list of goals."

In a statement to WFAA later Wednesday, Johnson said Dallas could support another NFL team.

“Dallas was named the top sports city in the United States because we play to win," Johnson said. "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.”

Two years ago, Johnson said he had talked with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones about a second NFL team coming to North Texas.

"We need an AFC team that plays in southern Dallas," Johnson said at the time.
Jones gave a roundabout response to those discussions, without offering support for Johnson's idea.

"[Johnson] is one of my real friends. He didn't get in Harvard and get that Harvard degree by not being smart," Jones said. "He knows how much the Cowboys can impact positively what we're about in Dallas and knows the worldwide interest. He's got all of that down and that's why that I'm sure looking for votes that he opens everything up with Dallas Cowboys."

While there's been no reported interest in a Chiefs move to Dallas, it would be a reunion. The Chiefs were originally formed as the Dallas Texans, debuting in 1960, the same year as the Cowboys. The Texans played in the American Football League, and the Cowboys played in the National Football League.

The competing franchises shared the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, but the Texans, owned by Lamar Hunt, ultimately decided to move to Kansas City. Hunt had decided Dallas was a one-team town, and the Cowboys were better positioned to have success because of the NFL's new television contract with CBS.

The NFL would put then in London or Mexico City first.

If true, I'd like to personally thank all Jackson County No voters.

This all day. Now no matter what the Chiefs do, they will come out ahead.

If I was advising Clark I’d tell him to make a modest offer to purchase the Truman Sports complex from the county. You want out of the sports business, then ok.
