Biggest NFL Crowds

Bill Sullivan — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:29:17 +0000

The most attended game in NFL history wasn’t even an official game: It was a 1994 preseason meeting between the Houston Oilers and the Dallas Cowboys in Mexico City.

Benefitting from the sheer size of Azteca Stadium, 112,376 people crammed in to watch a meaningless battle between two Texas teams, a gate surely hyped by the Cowboys’ immense popularity south of the border.

Exhibition or not, that turnout still stands as the NFL record. Here’s a list of the top 10 attendance figures in league history, which includes just seven games played on U.S. soil:

112,376: Aug. 15, 1994: American Bowl (Azteca Stadium, Mexico City) – Cowboys vs. Oilers

106,424: Aug. 17, 1998: American Bowl (Azteca Stadium, Mexico City) — Cowboys vs. Patriots

105,840: Aug. 22, 1947: College All-Star Game (Soldier Field, Chicago) — Bears vs. All-Stars

Dallas Cowboys 2009 schedule

Bill Sullivan — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:38:16 +0000

Many love ‘em. Many hate ‘em. But few NFL fans are neutral on the subject of the Dallas Cowboys.

Sure, they haven’t won a playoff game since 1996, and at least part of the circus left town when Terrell Owens shuffled off to Buffalo, but Jerry Jones’ team is still the league’s top TV draw and greatest attention magnet. Moving into a brand new $1.2 billion stadium this season should only serve to enhance the brand. (Jones certainly hopes so, since he’s on the hook for the lion’s share of that tab.)

But what of the games, you ask? Yes, they’re part of the package as well. Here’s a look at Dallas’ 2009 schedule, a 17-week adventure sure to produce its share of ups and downs. (Home games are in all caps.)

Most NFL playoff losses

Bill Sullivan — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 14:50:16 +0000

They suffer through training camp and a seemingly-endless preseason. They slug their way through 16 regular season games. Finally, the real games — the playoffs — get underway, and before you know it, it’s time to put up the helmets and pads for another season.

Once the NFL postseason begins, only one team is going to end up happy. The rest will simply limp into the offseason wondering what might have been.

Making the playoffs is fun. Losing once you get there isn’t.

Here are the teams that have suffered that losing feeling more than others:.

1. Minnesota Vikings: 25

2. Dallas Cowboys: 24

T2. St. Louis Rams: 24

T2. New York Giants: 24

5. Cleveland Browns: 20

They finished out of the money in 2008, but the Green Bay Packers still hold a record that won’t be broken this year. The boys from the frozen tundra have won a total of 10 NFC Championships in their storied history, two more than anyone else in the current conference.

Who else is in the running?

Most valuable sports franchises

Bill Sullivan — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:11:35 +0000

Soccer may still struggle to gain a spot in the American sports consciousness, but the game is big business just about everywhere else in the world. That’s why a soccer (er, football) club tops Forbes‘ list of the “10 Most Valuable Teams in Sports,” and why two others make the Top 10.

Fear not, fans of the staid old National Football League. No fewer than six of your favorites made the cut, compared to just one entry from Major League Baseball. (We’ll give you one guess who that might be…)

Here’s the rundown, with current estimated worth:

1. Manchester United (soccer): $1.8 billion

2. Dallas Cowboys (American football): $1.6 billion

3. Washington Redskins (American football): $1.5 billion

4. New England Patriots (American football): $1.32 billion

5. New York Yankees (Major League Baseball): $1.3 billion

6. Real Madrid (soccer):$1.29 billion

7. Arsenal (soccer):$1.2 billion

8. New York Giants (American football): $1.18 billion

9. New York Jets (American football): $1.17 billion

10. Houston Texans (American football): $1.17 billion

Best Cowboys Thanksgiving games

Bill Sullivan — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 18:02:54 +0000

When the Cowboys host the Seattle Seahawks on Nov. 27, it will mark the last Thanksgiving Day game at Texas Stadium.

The holiday tradition has produced plenty of noteworthy moments — both good and bad, from the Dallas point of view.

The Mad Bomber. A state championship battle with the Oilers. Leon Lett. Jason Garrett.

Here’s a totally arbitrary look at the most memorable Thanksgiving Day games at the stadium with the hole in the roof:

1974 — Dallas 24, Washington 23: With Roger Staubach sidelined, Clint Longley connected with Drew Pearson for a late 50-yard touchdown to steal one from the hated Redskins.

1979 — Houston 30, Dallas 24: Remember the Oilers? Fans at Texas Stadium that day were treated to a real Texas Shootout as Earl Campbell ran for 195 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

1987 – Minnesota 44, Dallas 38 (OT): Not exactly a stellar season overall, but this game was particularly heartbreaking for the locals. The Cowboys tied it with two late touchdown passes from Danny White to Mike Renfro, but all was for naught as the Vikings came back to win in the extra period.

1993 — Miami 16, Dallas 14: On a day that otherwise would have been remembered for snow, ice, and a close Cowboys win, Leon Lett’s ill-fated decision to try to pick up a blocked field goal allowed the Dolphins to seize the (chilly) day on a second-chance chip shot.

1994 — Dallas 42, Green Bay 31: In an emergency start in place of the injured Troy Aikman, Jason Garrett threw for 311 yards and two touchdowns.

2006 — Dallas 38, Tampa Bay 10: Not a great game, but significant for Tony Romo’s five touchdown passes, a national coming-out party that augured a new sheriff in town.
