IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones said it will be difficult for the franchise to bid on a Super Bowl because of a new rule that says NFL teams that are awarded the championship game will lose a regular-season home game.

"That will put a difficult caveat to our bid," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Friday. "We probably will make a bid. They tell you what they want in a bid, but you can make a bid without what they want in a bid. So when you say, 'They're not going to give it to you,' the owners still get to vote. That's pretty much limiting, and our home games are so important to us. At this time, I'm not sure how we'll handle a bid; we'll make a bid for a Super Bowl in the future. But that's a head-scratcher: if I would do it at a cost of a home game."

The Cowboys hosted Super Bowl XL in 2010 between the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite a massive ice storm leading up to the game and a seating fiasco that prompted a lawsuit against the league and the Cowboys, the NFL owners did make money.

This year's Super Bowl is in Glendale, Arizona, home of the Arizona Cardinals, and the next available game for a bid is Super Bowl LIII in 2019.

Under these new rules, if an NFL team wins the bid, it will have to play a game in London.

"We're playing Jacksonville in London and we would not have played in that game if it cost us a home game, and we just wouldn't do it, and haven't done it," Jones said, alluding to the Nov. 9 game. "That's not being mean in any way or [not] being a team player. We made too big of a commitment to our fans and to our organization to play our 10 games here."
