The Mexican national soccer team has more fans in America than the U.S. team, and its games north of the border consistently draw huge crowds.

With that in mind, the Mexican national team has committed to four games -- one per year through 2022 -- at AT&T Stadium, the 80,000-seat home of the Dallas Cowboys. The agreement, brokered by Major League Soccer-owned Soccer United Marketing, aims to build an annual Super Bowl of sorts for Mexican soccer fans in North Texas.
