The Cowboys’ future is so vivid they should get shades … actually. Michael Gallup missed out a landing Saturday afternoon when the vast receiver misplaced the ball in afternoon daylight shining by 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 sun was there for both teams, so both teams had to look for it. Everybody knows where the sun is on both sides of the ball.”

This is definitely one of many funniest attainable responses from an proprietor with points like this. Most would merely say “yes, it’s a problem and we’re going to correct 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 understanding the place the solar is.
This isn’t a one afternoon downside. It’s been a difficulty for the reason that stadium was constructed, and designers knew it. One story from 2016 famous that designers primarily banked on AT&T Stadium resulting in mass improvement in Arlington, with the assumption 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 dwelling.
For Jones to appropriate the problem it could admit that his palace isn’t excellent — which is why he’s burying it down his listing of points. Jerry would sooner ask his staff to “pay attention to where the sun is” than dare placing shades on the offending home windows that may assist his staff 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 improvement 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, maintain getting used to being blinded at AT&T Stadium, as a result of this challenge isn’t going wherever. It’s going to be scrumptious when this decides a house playoff recreation.
