Afrigather The Cowboys’ future is so shiny they need to get shades … actually. Michael Gallup missed out a landing Saturday afternoon when the vast receiver misplaced the ball in afternoon daylight shining by way of AT&T Stadium’s giant finish zone home windows.
Jerry Jones on @1053thefan when requested about Michael Gallup shedding this ball within the solar at AT&T Stadium on Saturday: “The solar was there for each groups, so each groups needed to search for it. All people is aware of the place the solar is on either side of the ball.”

That is unquestionably one of many funniest potential responses from an proprietor with points like this. Most would merely say “sure, it’s an issue and we’re going to right it,” however as an alternative Jones refuses to confess there are any issues with Jerry World, as an alternative chalking it as much as soccer individuals not realizing the place the solar is.
This isn’t a one afternoon downside. It’s been a problem because the stadium was constructed, and designers knew it. One story from 2016 noted that designers essentially banked on AT&T Stadium leading to mass development in Arlington, with the idea that new building would finally be constructed up and block out the solar downside contained in the stadium. That hasn’t occurred, so now, six years later, we’re nonetheless seeing the Cowboys battling the glare throughout afternoon video games at house.
For Jones to right the problem it could admit that his palace isn’t excellent — which is why he’s burying it down his checklist of points. Jerry would sooner ask his workforce to “take note of the place the solar is” than dare placing shades on the offending home windows that will assist his workforce win extra video games.
It’s unquestionably one of many stupidest unforced errors within the NFL, and there’s no finish in sight. Asking groups to regulate to a failed growth guess as an alternative of correcting the problem would require acknowledging that the solar shines within the sky, and never out of Jerry Jones’ learn finish — and that isn’t taking place.
So, hold getting used to being blinded at AT&T Stadium, as a result of this concern isn’t going wherever. It’s going to be scrumptious when this decides a house playoff sport.
