NASHVILLE, Tenn. – NFL owners decided to super size the Super Bowl on Tuesday. During a one-day meeting at the Loews Hotel, the league’s top executives voted to play the 2011 Super Bowl at the Dallas Cowboys‘ future stadium site, awarding the game to the North Texas region over bids from Indianapolis and Glendale, Ariz., which host Super Bowl XLII following the ‘07 season.

One of the key issues that tipped the scales in favor of the Cowboys’ new digs, which will be located in Arlington, was the stunning seating capacity at the stadium. Under the plan presented by Dallas owner Jerry Jones and the area’s host committee, the NFL will have the opportunity to sell approximately 100,000 seats for fans to see the game live and another 20,000 tickets for standing-room only viewing in adjoining plazas at each end of the stadium.

“I think that was obviously a big factor,” Jones said, echoing remarks from several other owners. “One of the things I always remember in talking to (former team president) Tex Schramm about football is that the game isn’t a studio event. You have to have the crowd, the pageantry and the excitement that creates.”

Jones remembered that clearly from when Dallas won its first Super Bowl under his ownership, defeating the Buffalo Bills in front of more than 98,000 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.

You go over there and foul, and you foul them hard.” Horry’s controversial body check of Nash in the closing seconds of Game 4 sent tremors through the Suns-Spurs series. Horry was suspended for those two games.
