About Minor League
Football
Minor league football has always been played
in Dallas. Minor league football, formerly known
as semi-pro football, has been around longer
than the NFL. As a matter of fact, the NFL got
its humble beginnings as a result of semi-pro
football. The city of Dallas is one of the first
cities to ever have fielded a minor league
football team. Before there was the Dallas
Cowboys, there was the Dallas Texans, a semi-pro
football team. Although the team wasn’t very
successful, it was a part of the beginning of
what is now known as one of the world’s most
prolific forms of entertainment, the National
Football League. They were eventually purchased
by Lamar Hunt, one of the famous Hunt Brothers
of Dallas, and moved to Kansas City, Missouri.
That team became today’s Kansas City Chiefs.
Since then, there have been numerous attempts to
establish a successful minor league team in the
Dallas-Ft Worth metropolitan area.
Unfortunately, no team ever took root. That is
no team until the Dallas Diesel.
