National Football League's 90th Season

September 10 kicks off the National Football League’s regular season this year. This will be the league’s 90th birthday. Another birthday being celebrated this year is the Dallas Cowboys - the team has been around for 50 years. The Cowboys are trying to set a National Football League attendance record when the team starts playing in its new stadium. $29 party passes are being sold to fans who won’t have seats - the party pass tickets are on sale now for the Cowboys’ first two pre-season games and two regular season contests in the new stadium. The home opener is Sept. 20 against the New York Giants. “More fans can be at the stadium and, although they won’t all have a seat, they will definitely be a part of the action and experience on game day,” team owner Jones said.

According to the league’s website, the league drew its biggest U.S. attendance at Super Bowl XIV on Jan. 20, 1980 with 103,985 spectators at Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
