...." it's ace in the hole is the Texas state comptroller's major events trust fund, which helps underwrite the cost of events for the cities involved, thus ensuring that taxpayers don't have to foot the bill. No other state has a fund like this."

Interesting article. It's hard to say if a North Texas Sports Commission would be viable or not. As noted in the article, there are many competing cities/entities in the DFW area that are all trying to fulfill their own self-interests and sometimes refuse to cooperate with one another. Add Jerry Jones to the mix and there's a whole other problem...lol. From the article: "As host committee chairman Roger Staubach said after a December host committee board meeting that discussed a sports commission proposal, "Jerry is his own sports commission."

I suppose it's worth a try, it's anybody's guess if it would actually work or not.

I hope it does! Our area here is perfect for something like this(if politics don't get in the way).
