I was waiting for the sun to have an effect on the game

Could jerry finally afford sunshades? Or were we just fortunate this time.

... I thought the same. I think on winning drive, they were going against the sun. We got lucky.

Not many stadiums around that run east-west and have an object bigger than a 747 in the path of play.

Lol what about that big TV screen in the middle of the field the punters keep hitting.

I think that’s what he was saying with the “747” comment.

I was worried Cooper Rush would get a nasty sunburn playing in there.

Doesn't the belief that planetary movements influences life fall under astrology?

Not sure I believe in that. But let's ask Madame Cleo.

Since 2009 can any of you name more than one time where the sun played a factor in a 3:25 game?

Or do you just remember when Cedric Wilson couldn’t “see” the ball except for that split second when he ducked so it wouldn’t hit him in the face?

AT&T is the dumbest stayjum in the US. It was purposely built to enhance its “visual aesthetics” even if the sunlight blinds players trying to see. Apparently JJ would rather have a beautiful visual than a beautiful playoff win.

You want proof of that? I’ve been to 7 High school football games there- curtains were used to keep the sun from being a factor. Been to 3 college games at ATT- all in the afternoon. All used the black curtains. Not for Cowboys games. We have a visual image to uphold.

3:25 games are when we have problems.

JJ's place is just a chip off the ol' Texas Stadium block !

Heck I thought the winning field goal was wide right. Thought it was the sun or camera angle or both that made me see it that way.

Let's take up a collection for curtains.
This situation is ridiculous.
8 billion dollar franchise value and
We look like dufusses with this problem.

The sun’s undeniable affect on the game sums up Jerry pretty well.

Too bright for everyone in the building?

 

[atlantacowboy]

Only East-West oriented stadium in the NFL...... and a window ! Between that and the giant tv over the field, I have to wonder if Jerry consulted anyone outside his family on the stadium design.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Jerry was asked about this last year on the Fan and he said words to the effect of "I wish all that I had to worry about was curtains in a stayjum."

In the second half on Sunday, that sun was shining directly in our DL's faces as they lined up.

 

[Doomsday101]

Hate to say it but Texas stadium had the sun in your face as well, no different. Do people listen to themselves? You look for anything to slam Jerry over even the most stupid of comment. No doubt there are reasons to be upset with Jerry but this is not one unless you had same issue with Texas Stadium.

It was partly cloudy here all day Sunday. That was the official forecast. But it seems mostly cloudy, but not a rain type cloudy, the sun was till out, just not enough to effect the lighting. So that helped.
