Jerry Jones envisions super attendance

Dallas Morning News
"Jerry Jones stood in an end zone plaza in Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday, but his mind was on the $1.1 billion stadium the Cowboys are building in Arlington.
With the Cowboys' stadium scheduled to open in June, Jones is already thinking about Super Bowl XLV in 2011. Specifically, he is envisioning the highest attendance ever for the NFL's championship.
"Conceptually, I believe we'll sell 125,000 tickets for the Super Bowl," said Jones, who was attending the annual NFL scouting combine.
The record is 103,985 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., when Pittsburgh beat the Los Angeles Rams, 31-19, in Super Bowl XIV. The Rose Bowl has hosted four Super Bowls with attendance topping 100,000.
To get the record, the Cowboys would have to reconfigure the new stadium, which will have 80,000 seats in place."
