New Marriage: Dallas Cowboys and Final Four

Are you ready for basketball at Jerry World?
The NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee announced that the new stadium that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is builiding in Arlington will serve as the site of the 2014 Final Four.
The stadium can be configured to seat 93,000 fans for basketball. Bring binoculars if you have the 92,999th-worst seat in the house.
Too bad that they couldn't play a Final Four at Texas Stadium between now and then. It would be sort of interesting, considering the hole in the roof.
Host sites were announced through 2016 and, bad news, San Antonio was not on the list.
If the NCAA ever chose to make one site the permanent host (just like Omaha always hosts the College World Series), then San Antonio should be the place.
