I wish the Cowboys would put better art at AT&T Stadium

But instead we get awful looking splabs of garish yellow, orange and red paint that looks like that modernistic paint slopped from buckets that somehow calls itself art.

Your specific definition of art does not matter. ATT Stadium has one of the finest art collections in the world and Gene especially is a long established art collector.

You can not like the aesthetic of abstract art, which is fine, but the rest of this sentiment is silly.

Take the stadium tour and you will see plenty of large photos of past/present Cowboys. At least they were there when I took the tour a few years back.

Disclaimer: I have not been to AT&T Stadium since January 2019, so I don't know what they have there now.

But when I attended that Seahawks playoff game, there was all kinds of modernist art - big sploshes of orange, red, blue, yellow paint that looks like nothing - and meaningless slogans on the walls such as "Moving Towards a Resolution of Mass." Stuff that might belong in an art museum about Salvadore Dali or something like that, but not in a football stadium.

When I go to a Cowboys stadium, I want to see massive banners of Cowboys playing in legendary moments - perhaps some hundred-foot long banner photo of Staubach's Hail Mary to Pearson, or Aikman throwing that slant to Harper - all kinds of huge wall posters of Emmitt, Romo, Irvin, Haley, Landry, Jimmy, Dorsett, etc. I don't want to see big sploshes of meaningless paint that is completely unrelated to football.

This is hilarious!

I don't think Jerry wants to hear Gene *****in' about him messing with her art...

Well I can tell you who put it there and whose bad taste you're seeing...but I'll let someone else do the honors.

I agree. I'd like to see some large photos of Cowboys players from this century lifting a Super Bowl trophy.

Some people can do a real good Photoshop

If nothing else, I give you kudos for entirely new topic.

Paint something and see if you can sell it to Jerry.

I like abstract art. One man's blob is another's jackson pollack.

I think you just go in the men''s room..

go in a stall..

make a drawing of a 'one finger salute and say

"Jerrah..tell your wife 'the art work suks".

He'll hear about it.

:omg:

Big_D · Jul 14, 2020

Going for the artsy look. Jerry wanting to please the cheese and cracker crowd.

Hagman · Jul 14, 2020

I hear ya bro. I took a tour of that place a few years back and there weren't one dang picture of poker playin' dogs or Elvis on black velvet. The dern Motel Six I stayed at had better pictures on the wall.

I think some friends and I could make something like that hehe.

Hardline · Jul 14, 2020

I prefer they remove all the art and turn it into a football stadium.

Hehe, I can fix that.

Why do I think that there is a sizable contingent here that would favor dogs playing poker . . .

Edit: damn someone beat me to this.

Blackspider214 · Jul 14, 2020

When I go to a Cowboys game, I want to see them win....

Chuck 54 · Jul 14, 2020

It’s called making money, the one thing Jerry is a genius at. He lets his wife and others make decisions and provide something for everyone at the stadium, men, women, kids, wealthy, poor, football fanatics and socialites, everyone is welcome to hand Jerry money.

jazzcat22 · Jul 14, 2020

I went to an art exhibit at the stadium and a football game broke out.

You don't like the Ford trucks in the ceiling?
