<P> The Cowboys had played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas since their inception in 1960 . However , by the mid-1960s , founding owner Clint Murchison , Jr. felt that the Fair Park area of the city had become unsafe and downtrodden , and did not want his season ticket holders to be forced to go through it . Murchison was denied a request by mayor Erik Jonsson to build a new stadium in downtown Dallas as part of a municipal bond package . </P>
