Big D has teams in all Big 4 leagues (though two of them play in nearby Arlington), and three out of four have won championships at least once. Soccer fans aren't forgotten either - FC Dallas is there to provide them with a weekly dose of entertainment. But let's delve a bit deeper into local Big4 franchises.

Dallas Cowboys (America's Team) - the city is a very good choice for football fans, albeit the games aren't played in the city itself. Since 2009, the Cowboys have played their games at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. They are among the wealthiest and most valuable sports teams in the US and in the world and are universally liked across the States (except, of course, in division rival cities of Washington and Philadelphia, and San Francisco). This nearly global fanbase has earned the Cowboys the nickname "America's Team."

Playing in the NFL since 1960, Cowboys won five championship rings, sharing second place in that number (along with San Francisco 49ers and behind Patriots and Steelers). Their (so far) last Super Bowl was won quite a way back, in 1995. Yet, they still hold the record with the fewest allowed points in Super Bowl - In SB VI, Miami Dolphins scored only three points. Another fun fact is that Cowboys' then-linebacker Chuck Howley is the only player who was named MVP of the Super Bowl while losing the big game.

Dallas Stars -  this NHL team moved to the city from Minneapolis in 1993 and changed its name from North Stars to Stars. Since their arrival, they have been in three Stanley Cup finals and won the championship in the 1998-99 season. Since 2001, they have played home games in the American Airlines Center in the Victory Park neighborhood in Dallas.

Dallas Mavericks - the Stars share the American Airlines arena with the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs entered the NBA in 1980. Since then, they have had their ups and downs, with the highest "up" being winning the championship in 2011, beating the Miami Heat over six games. The driving force behind that success was the great German Dirk Nowitzki, and his 21 seasons with the franchise were record-breaking for the number of years any player has played for a single team (Kobe Bryant spent 20 seasons with Lakers). After Dirk's retirement, Mavs' fortunes slumped for a while, but Luka Dončić makes the future look bright for the team and Dallas. The greatest rivals are fellow Texans - San Antonio Spurs.

Texas Rangers - Rounding out the Big4 franchises is this Major League Baseball club that moved to Texas in the early 1970s. The Rangers have made it to the World Series twice but have yet to win one. Like the Cowboys, they host their games in nearby Arlington, at Globe Life Field.
