達拉斯市長建議酋長們在堪薩斯城體育場困境中返回德克薩斯州

在堪薩斯城體育場翻修遭到拒絕後，達拉斯市長埃里克·約翰遜邀請堪薩斯城酋長隊搬到達拉斯。酋長隊最初是達拉斯德州人隊，於1959 年在達拉斯成立，並於1963 年遷至堪薩斯城。約翰遜相信達拉斯擁有市場和對足球的熱情來支持第二支NFL 球隊，尤其是一支與此座城市有著歷史淵源的球隊。

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson Advocates for Kansas City Chiefs to Return to Texas

達拉斯市長埃里克·約翰遜主張堪薩斯城酋長隊返回德克薩斯州

In a bold declaration, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson has extended an invitation to the Kansas City Chiefs to consider a relocation to the Lone Star State, following the recent rejection of a stadium renovation measure in Missouri.

達拉斯市長埃里克·約翰遜在一份大膽的聲明中邀請堪薩斯城酋長隊考慮搬遷到孤星州，此前密蘇裡州的體育場改造措施最近遭到拒絕。

"It is time for the Chiefs to return to their roots in Texas," proclaimed Mayor Johnson in an emphatic statement to The Dallas Morning News. "Our city boasts an unparalleled passion for football, a thriving economy, and an infrastructure that can effortlessly accommodate a second NFL franchise."

「酋長隊是時候回到他們在德克薩斯州的根了，」市長約翰遜在《達拉斯晨報》的一份強調聲明中宣稱。 “我們的城市擁有對足球無與倫比的熱情、繁榮的經濟以及可以輕鬆容納第二支 NFL 球隊的基礎設施。”

Underpinning his proposal is the undeniable fact that Dallas has consistently ranked among the nation's top sports cities, with the Dallas Cowboys enjoying a massive fanbase and unwavering support. "We have demonstrated our unwavering commitment to excellence on the field," Mayor Johnson asserted. "The presence of two NFL teams in Dallas would only further solidify our status as a football mecca."

支持他的提議的是不可否認的事實，達拉斯一直躋身全美頂級體育城市之列，達拉斯牛仔隊享有龐大的球迷基礎和堅定不移的支持。約翰遜市長表示：“我們已經展示了我們在該領域追求卓越的堅定承諾。” “兩支 NFL 球隊在達拉斯的存在只會進一步鞏固我們作為足球聖地的地位。”

The Chiefs, originally known as the Dallas Texans, were one of the eight charter members of the American Football League in 1959. However, in a move that has since been lamented by many, the franchise relocated to Kansas City in 1963.

酋長隊最初被稱為達拉斯德州人隊，是 1959 年美國橄欖球聯盟的八個特許成員之一。然而，球隊於 1963 年遷至堪薩斯城，這一舉動後來引起了許多人的哀嘆。

The Missouri electorate's resounding rejection of a 40-year extension of a 3/8th cent stadium sales tax has cast a pall over the Chiefs' long-term prospects in Kansas City. The stadium, known as Arrowhead Stadium, is in desperate need of renovations, and the city lacks the necessary funds to undertake the project.

密蘇裡州選民堅決拒絕將 3/8 美分的體育場銷售稅延長 40 年，這給酋長隊在堪薩斯城的長期前景蒙上了一層陰影。這座被稱為箭頭體育場的體育場迫切需要翻修，而該市缺乏開展該項目所需的資金。

Mayor Johnson has repeatedly expressed his desire to bring a second NFL team to Dallas, a proposition that has met with resistance from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Jones has vehemently argued that the presence of another team would dilute the Cowboys' immense popularity and revenue stream.

約翰遜市長多次表示希望將第二支 NFL 球隊帶到達拉斯，但這一提議遭到了牛仔隊老闆傑裡瓊斯的抵制。瓊斯強烈辯稱，另一支球隊的存在將削弱牛仔隊巨大的人氣和收入來源。

However, the Chiefs' current predicament presents an enticing opportunity for Dallas to acquire a storied franchise with a rich history and a loyal fan base. The Chiefs have won three Super Bowls and boast one of the league's most dynamic offenses, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

然而，酋長隊目前的困境為達拉斯隊提供了一個誘人的機會，可以收購一支擁有豐富歷史和忠實球迷基礎的傳奇球隊。酋長隊贏得了三屆超級盃冠軍，並擁有聯盟最具活力的進攻體系之一，由四分衛帕特里克·馬霍姆斯領銜。

Undeterred by Jones's opposition, Mayor Johnson remains steadfast in his belief that Dallas can support two NFL teams. He cites the city's booming population, its strong economic indicators, and its unparalleled enthusiasm for football.

約翰遜市長並沒有被瓊斯的反對嚇倒，他仍然堅信達拉斯可以支持兩支 NFL 球隊。他列舉了這座城市蓬勃發展的人口、強勁的經濟指標以及對足球無與倫比的熱情。

"We believe that the Chiefs would thrive in Dallas, where they would be embraced by a city that values tradition, excellence, and the competitive spirit," Mayor Johnson said. "We urge the Chiefs to seriously consider our proposal and join us in writing a new chapter in the illustrious history of both our city and your franchise."

約翰遜市長表示：“我們相信酋長隊將在達拉斯蓬勃發展，他們將受到這座重視傳統、卓越和競爭精神的城市的歡迎。” “我們敦促酋長們認真考慮我們的提議，並與我們一起在我們的城市和你們的球隊的輝煌歷史上書寫新的篇章。”

The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, with a population exceeding 7.6 million, is one of the largest and most prosperous in the United States. The city's economy is diverse and growing, with major industries including technology, healthcare, and finance.

達拉斯-沃斯堡都會區人口超過 760 萬，是美國最大、最繁榮的都會區之一。該市經濟多元化且不斷成長，主要產業包括科技、醫療保健和金融。

Moreover, Dallas is home to a state-of-the-art stadium, AT&T Stadium, which has hosted numerous major sporting events, including the Super Bowl. The stadium's retractable roof provides a comfortable and immersive experience for fans year-round.

此外，達拉斯還擁有最先進的體育場 AT&T 體育場，該體育場曾舉辦過包括超級盃在內的許多重大體育賽事。體育場的可伸縮屋頂全年為球迷提供舒適、身臨其境的體驗。

The relocation of the Chiefs to Dallas would undoubtedly be a major coup for the city and the NFL. It would create new jobs, boost tourism, and generate significant economic activity. Moreover, it would provide Dallas fans with the opportunity to witness two of the most iconic franchises in football competing against each other in the Lone Star State.

酋長隊搬遷至達拉斯無疑對這座城市和 NFL 來說都是重大變革。它將創造新的就業機會，促進旅遊業，並產生重要的經濟活動。此外，它還將為達拉斯球迷提供機會，親眼目睹足球界最具代表性的兩支球隊在孤星之州相互競爭。
