Cowboys Stadium manager Jack Hill will leave his position June 1,  but he said the seating problems that displaced about 1,250 fans at Super Bowl XLV in February didn't factor in his decision to resign.

"I had two very good seasons with Cowboys Stadium," said Hill, who joined the Dallas Cowboys in 2005 to oversee development and construction of the $1.2 billion facility in Arlington, Texas. "But it's time to pursue the next challenge."

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones told the newspaper that Hill's resignation didn't surprise him, although the seating fiasco didn't play a role in the decision.

"At some point, he probably missed building," Jones said. "Our family has such a tremendous amount of respect for Jack and always will."
