Forbes Magazine rolled out their Top 50 Most Valuable Sports Teams in the world earlier in the week , and as expected, the Dallas Cowboys were named the second most valuable team on the planet. It shouldn't come as an surprise given the team's worldwide popularity and the money Jerry Jones has spent on players and facilities in the last couple of years. At the moment, the team is reportedly worth $1.81 billion, which was only surpassed by English Premier League football club Manchester United ($1.86 billion).
Here's what Forbes' Kurt Badenhausen had to say about the Cowboys:
"The Cowboys are the sports world’s second most valuable team with a worth of $1.81 billion. Jerry Jones‘ $1.25 billion stadium, which opened in 2010, features more than just a 152-foot-wide HD TV screen. Cowboys Stadium has 320 luxury suites and 15,000 club seats that generate more than $100 million annually in premium seat revenue for Jones. America’s Team has also signed a host of lucrative sponsorship deals with the likes of AT&T, Bank of America , Ford Motor and PepsiCo."
The Cowboys were the only team from the Metroplex on the list. Only two NBA teams (Lakers and Knicks) made the list; no NHL teams were mentioned.
