NFL Lockout: Dallas Cowboys Set Camp For July 29
According to reports out of San Antonio, the Dallas Cowboys have tentatively scheduled to begin team camp June 29th at the Alamodome. The Cowboys have been unable to secure an official timetable as a result of the NFL lockout, however city officials explained that usage of the Alamodome required, at minimum, a provisional schedule, lest the Cowboys lose their claim over the facilities.
The Cowboys plan to start moving equipment into the building July 25, said Mike Sawaya, who heads the city’s convention, sports and entertainment facilities. The annual pep rally/concert to kick off camp is set for July 28, Sawaya said.
The Cowboys have the dome reserved through Aug. 13, Sawaya said.
If the work stoppage continues past July, the Cowboys may be forced to move their camp to Irving, Texas.
As the fall inches closer, situations like this -- which serve as a stark reminder of the stakes at hand -- will become commonplace among the NFL brass. As the effervescent glow of the offseason shrinks, and more and more owners are faced with the myriad of obligations that correspond with ownership of a citywide entity, the tensions between the league and the players will likely escalate.
