Aikman will lead the way on next Dallas Super Bowl bid

The quarterback who won three Super Bowl rings in Dallas will lead the way in trying to bring the 2016 Super Bowl to Dallas.

Cowboys Hall of Famer Troy Aikman will chair the effort to land the 2016 Super Bowl for North Texas, the Star-Telegram reports.

The 2011 Super Bowl will take place at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, and although Dallas can’t bid for a future Super Bowl until it has already hosted the 2011 game, North Texas officials and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones definitely want the game in 2016.

The 2016 game will be the 50th Super Bowl. That’s Super Bowl L in Roman numerals. And to these eyes, that looks kind of strange.
