The football team has won much-deserved acclaim as a Big 12 team, and football season is welcomed by Waco residents as another opportunity to see the team hit the gridiron and forge their status toward the upper reaches of the weekly college football rankings.
The closest professional sports team to Waco is the Dallas Cowboys. The team led by quarterback Tony Romo, has undergone several dramatic shifts within its personnel, and they continue to strive for another shot at the Superbowl. Playing at the newly remodeled Cowboys Stadium, the team has a rabid legion of followers, not the least of which live in Waco. A short ride up I-35 leads fans to the game, just in time for a tailgate party and then the eventual kickoff.
