Dallas Cowboys Tickets

Make your football fan happy by giving the gift of Cowboys tickets. The Dallas Cowboys are perennial Super Bowl contenders, so you have to plan ahead to buy cheap tickets. Playing in the NFC East, perhaps the NFLs toughest division, the Cowboys have been among the most successful teams of the NFLs modern era, winning 5 Super Bowls and 8 conference championships. Their tremendous popularity is evidenced by their NFL record for consecutive games played in sold-out stadiums. They have sold out tickets to 79 straight games at home and 81 on the road for a total of 160 straight sellouts. Their widespread appeal has earned them the nickname Americas Team.

The Cowboys have a history of great quarterbacks, with the likes of Don Meredith, Roger Staubach, Danny White, and Troy Aikman, and outstanding running backs such as Emmet Smith and Tony Dorsett. Behind Meredith, they moved quickly from being a woeful expansion franchise to playing in the NFL championship games of 1966 and 1967, losing both games to the Green Bay Packers, the dominant team of the era. After the AFL and the NFL merged in 1970, the Cowboys made it to their first Super Bowl in 1971, losing to the Baltimore Colts in a poorly played game, 16-13. The following year, the Cowboys finally came out on top in a championship encounter, crushing the Miami Dolphins 24-3 to win Super Bowl VI. The Cowboys would reach the Super Bowl six more times, winning Super Bowls XII, XVII, XVIII, and XXX, and losing Super Bowls X and XIII.

Fans rush for Cowboys tickets to see quarterback Tony Romo, elected to the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2008. Other standouts making Cowboys tickets hot are Terrell Owens, who holds the NFL record for most receptions in a game with 20 and is second all-time in receiving touchdowns behind Jerry Rice; and 2007 Pro Bowl running back Marion Barber.

Founded in 1960, the Cowboys were the first NFL expansion team of the modern era. The granting of a franchise to Dallas was strongly opposed by Washington Redskins owner George Preston Marshall, as the Redskins had long enjoyed a monopoly as the only NFL team to represent the southern states. To overcome this opposition, candidate owners Clint Murchison, Jr. and Bedford Wynne bought the rights to Hail to the Redskins, the Redskins fight song, and threatened to disallow the use of the song at Redskins games, until Marshall relented. This conflict no doubt planted the seeds of the Redskins/Cowboys rivalry; one of the NFLs oldest and most intense.

After several years of futile attempts to gain any respect in the NFL during their initial years, it was in 1977 when rookie head coach Red Miller took the reigns and opened the lid for the Orange Crush Defense to instill the fear of God into their opponents. With veteran Quarterback Craig Morton shouting the signals the Broncos not only locked down their first of 20 trips to post-season play, but enjoyed their first appearance in the Super Bowl but losing it to then unbeatable Dallas Cowboys. The Broncos went on to win playoff appearances for three consecutive years and gained the respect of the NFL as being one of the best teams in the game.
