Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is contemplating tinting the west-facing windows at AT&T Stadium. The decision comes after FIFA required the curtains to be closed during a recent World Cup match at the venue.
Jones told Fox 4, “Thinking about it and doing something about it are two different things. … But I’ll think about it. It’s hard to tell that time of the year, because the sun’s not the same. This time of the year that it is, in the fall. And that is, you get on into — sun changes, and the angle of that sun changes from September through year-round. But as we look at it, I like some of the effects of the tinting. And so we’re giving that a thought.”
Glare Issues
The sun shining through the end zones in late-afternoon games has created an aesthetic view, but it has also affected game play. Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb dropped an easy touchdown pass due to the glare in a 34-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on November 10, 2024. Lamb said at the time, “I couldn’t see the ball. Couldn’t see the ball, at all. The sun.”
