Super Bowl comes to Texas (albeit in 1,271 days!)
It's only 25 days until the start of the NFL season, when the
Dallas Cowboys host the New York Giants on
Sunday 9 September at 20:15 Eastern Time (02:15 BST Mon 10th).
However, the longer countdown for the Cowboys relates to their fantastic and
futuristic new stadium in
Arlington, which is due to be constructed in time for the 2009 season.
Furthermore, on 22 May 2007 the NFL owners agreed that the Cowboys' new home will play host to
Super Bowl XLV on Sunday 6 February 2011.
The Cowboys have therefore got three more
drafts to manufacture a team good enough to play at home in this fine new sporting arena in Super Bowl XLV.

live construction site.
