Battle for Super Bowl 50: DFW vs. L.A.?

But now, ESPN reports, DFW has a serious rival for that game in Los Angeles, which may have the better shot at landing it. The first Super Bowl was played in 1967 at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. And plans have just been unveiled for a new Tinseltown stadium called Farmers Field, which is taking its cues from Cowboys Stadium. Maybe Jerry & Co. should pray for an earthquake?
