达拉斯市长建议酋长们在堪萨斯城体育场困境中返回德克萨斯州

在堪萨斯城体育场翻修遭到拒绝后，达拉斯市长埃里克·约翰逊邀请堪萨斯城酋长队迁往达拉斯。酋长队最初是达拉斯德州人队，于 1959 年在达拉斯成立，并于 1963 年迁至堪萨斯城。约翰逊相信达拉斯拥有市场和对足球的热情来支持第二支 NFL 球队，尤其是一支与这座城市有着历史渊源的球队。

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

达拉斯市长埃里克·约翰逊主张堪萨斯城酋长队返回德克萨斯州

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.

达拉斯市长埃里克·约翰逊在一份大胆的声明中邀请堪萨斯城酋长队考虑搬迁到孤星州，此前密苏里州的体育场改造措施最近遭到拒绝。

"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."

“酋长队是时候回到他们在德克萨斯州的根了，”市长约翰逊在《达拉斯晨报》的一份强调声明中宣称。 “我们的城市拥有对足球无与伦比的热情、繁荣的经济以及可以轻松容纳第二支 NFL 球队的基础设施。”

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."

支持他的提议的是不可否认的事实，达拉斯一直跻身全美顶级体育城市之列，达拉斯牛仔队享有庞大的球迷基础和坚定不移的支持。约翰逊市长表示：“我们已经展示了我们在该领域追求卓越的坚定承诺。” “两支 NFL 球队在达拉斯的存在只会进一步巩固我们作为足球圣地的地位。”

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.

酋长队最初被称为达拉斯德州人队，是 1959 年美国橄榄球联盟的八个特许成员之一。然而，球队于 1963 年迁至堪萨斯城，这一举动后来引起了许多人的哀叹。

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.

密苏里州选民坚决拒绝将 3/8 美分的体育场销售税延长 40 年，这给酋长队在堪萨斯城的长期前景蒙上了一层阴影。这座被称为箭头体育场的体育场迫切需要翻修，而该市缺乏开展该项目所需的资金。

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.

约翰逊市长多次表示希望将第二支 NFL 球队带到达拉斯，但这一提议遭到了牛仔队老板杰里·琼斯的抵制。琼斯强烈辩称，另一支球队的存在将削弱牛仔队巨大的人气和收入来源。

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，酋长队目前的困境为达拉斯队提供了一个诱人的机会，可以收购一支拥有丰富历史和忠实球迷基础的传奇球队。酋长队赢得了三届超级碗冠军，并拥有联盟最具活力的进攻体系之一，由四分卫帕特里克·马霍姆斯领衔。

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.

约翰逊市长并没有被琼斯的反对吓倒，他仍然坚信达拉斯可以支持两支 NFL 球队。他列举了这座城市蓬勃发展的人口、强劲的经济指标以及对足球无与伦比的热情。

"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."

约翰逊市长表示：“我们相信酋长队将在达拉斯蓬勃发展，他们将受到这座重视传统、卓越和竞争精神的城市的欢迎。” “我们敦促酋长们认真考虑我们的提议，并与我们一起在我们的城市和你们的球队的辉煌历史上书写新的篇章。”

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.

达拉斯-沃斯堡都会区人口超过 760 万，是美国最大、最繁荣的都会区之一。该市经济多元化且不断增长，主要产业包括科技、医疗保健和金融。

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，达拉斯还拥有最先进的体育场 AT&T 体育场，该体育场曾举办过包括超级碗在内的众多重大体育赛事。体育场的可伸缩屋顶全年为球迷提供舒适、身临其境的体验。

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.

酋长队搬迁至达拉斯无疑对这座城市和 NFL 来说都是一次重大变革。它将创造新的就业机会，促进旅游业，并产生重要的经济活动。此外，它还将为达拉斯球迷提供机会，亲眼目睹足球界最具标志性的两支球队在孤星之州相互竞争。
