"AT&T Stadium has proven to be a great destination for soccer events this caliber, and we are honored to host the Gold Cup in our building once more," said Dallas Cowboys Chief Operating Officer Stephen Jones. -The passionate soccer fans of North Texas will again provide a great atmosphere for the 2017 Gold Cup inside AT&T Stadium."
