Reports: Jones seeking more cash for Cowboys' stadium


By BYRON HARRIS

Banks are bellying up and General Motors is heading south.

Sports Business Journal says Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones is asking for $350 million in new loans, most of which would go for the new stadium.

Not exactly a sub prime loan for this Behemoth but in a troubled loan market, even big companies are having trouble finding money.

Jones met at his Arlington sales office last month with his main lender, Bank of America, and more than a dozen other banks to find more money for what is a gold-plated venture.

"I've spent a lot of money on the wow factor on this stadium to help create that interest in this venue," said Jones.

The potential problem - it's a different financial market now than when ground was broken.
