Dallas Sports & Recreation

A variety of professional sports is played in Dallas and nearby cities. Surely the best-known local team is the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys, who in 2009 inaugurated the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The state-of-the-art sports complex hosts the annual Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and was the venue for the 2011 Super Bowl XLV.

The National Basketball Association's Dallas Mavericks, who claimed their first NBA crown in 2011, and the National Hockey League's Dallas Stars play at American Airlines Center. The American League's Texas Rangers play baseball at Globe Life Field, whereas Major League Rugby's Dallas Jackals as well as high school and college football teams play in the former home of the Rangers, Choctaw Stadium, aka the former Globe Life Park in Arlington. Rounding out the local professional-sports lineup, FC Dallas of Major League Soccer play at Toyota Stadium.

Also popular are amateur basketball and tennis tournaments. During fair weather, sailing buffs can enjoy the amateur races on Sunday at White Rock Lake. Professional rodeos are held weekends April through September in suburban Mesquite.
