Gaylord Texan Named Official Hotel of The Dallas Cowboys

Irving, Texas—( June 17, 2009 ) The Dallas Cowboys announced today that the spectacular Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas has been selected as the "Official Hotel of The Dallas Cowboys." Having relocated their games to the newly constructed Cowboys Stadium, the most impressive sports venue in the country, it is no surprise that the Cowboys have chosen the grandest resort destination in North Texas to host their players, staff, cheerleaders and fans.

The Gaylord Texan has proven itself to be one of the finest hotels in our region in both accommodations and service," said Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys Owner and General Manager. "With their proximity to the Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport as well as the Cowboys Stadium, I can't imagine a more fitting place for our organization and fans to call home the night before a big game."

As part of the new relationship, Gaylord Texan recently hosted The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Swimsuit Calendar Release Party in its Glass Cactus nightclub and The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders team try-outs in its 50,000-square-foot Texas Ballroom. The team and resort will host additional events and promotions together throughout the coming year.

"As huge fans of our home team, we are extremely excited and proud to be partnering with the legendary Dallas Cowboys," said John Imaizumi, Gaylord Texan's Senior Vice President and General Manager. "Our organizations share a passion for creating big entertainment experiences and, together, we will do great things."
