So that means more Denver fans would show than Dallas fans that live in Texas?

Those "Dallas fans that live in Texas" are the ones that are selling their tickets to out of state fans. It happens every week in multiple stadia across the country. It sucks that when it happens to us and we notice it big time.

My uncle and I traveled to the Panthers game in week 4. Two and a half weeks later one of the ticket representatives called him and tried to sell him season tickets. When he declined, and mentioned he was a Panthers fan, the lady suggested that he buys the tickets, then sells them all to make money.

Money seems to be the only thing that matters down there.

Jerry doesn’t care who buys the tickets as long as they are being bought
That is true for all business people
It doesn’t matter who you make the dollar from, it’s still a dollar

Yep
It’s not like we don’t have fans travel to other stadiums just like all teams do
Fans who can afford it follow their team
That’s what makes the NFL so big

It definitely seems odd coming from such a supposed football state?!
I don't know that the average Cowboy fan is an accurate representation of the great country of Texas and our affinity for football.

I've seen worse crowds at the stadium than what we saw yesterday, the Broncos fans just stick out more because of the orange.

for decades they’ve been known as the cheese and cracker crowd. Aren’t the Cowboys a big part of the state? Huge football state, huge football team and there’s no combination or crossover or home field advantage! Just weird. That great country of Texas should be reppin America’s Team better than it has been.

It bugs me they stuck Arlington, a city that took a beating in 2008, with a retractable roof that they never open. Beyond that, they went with a living-room-plus strategy, with a giant TV screen, rather than try to create passion, and atmosphere.
There was to many Denver fans at AT&T Stadium !

Having grown up in Texas, it's not even college ball to some extent, it's high school you have to understand. You want the true football fan base in Texas, you go to the HS games.

We see orange, Booger sees green. "New money". So yeah he doesn't care. Franchises like Patriots have a process in place to prevent this.
i went to a Patriots/Bills game a few years ago...Lots of Bills fans were there

I have had it with this giant silver turd. How many opposing teams fans does Booger have to show it off to until he applies methods that other teams do to limit tickets being acquired??? Can you imagine how much orange would have been present if Denver was 6-2 or 7-1 entering the game...this annual trek for visitors every year is sickening. Seriously....is it really that big of deal for us to play at home in the playoffs??? I NEVER feel like we truly have much more than a 50/50 advantage at The Dump (South)....which is pretty much what out record has been there. I can't even begin to tell you how much I miss Texas Stadium!!!
Honestly I don’t think the record has much to do with it. Opposing teams in afc only get a chance to go every 8 years and most of the time traveling that far is booked far in advance. I also am not sure if school closures plays a role too as far as this past week it did for me allowing us to travel.

There was a thread going around last night about this.

I would like to see the % of visiting fans in every stadium.

Would not be surprised at all if we are near the top because:
#1) Haters gonna hate, c'mon it's the Cowboys
#2) Our stadium is now more of a tourist site, only LA compares
#3) DFW Airport, hotels, middle of country, prime location and great prices
#4) we don't have the rowdy reputation a lot of the up North stadiums have, visiting feels safe (we're southern gentlemen and Hollywood! o_O)

To your point, you add an AFC team, it's a vacation package for some fans.

You nailed it. Nice weather too at this time of year. Definitely tourist attraction too. Every year we come for a game around this time and I always like to do stadium tour. Just love getting on the field and throwing the ball around. Stayed at Omni Lamar which is def nice spot to stay. Pool hot tub everyday and don’t forget the bbq places!

Don't think you'd ever see this somewhere like Philly, Pittsburg, hell even Cleveland and you sure wouldn't see it in Green Bay.

Been a Cowboy fan for 50 years now and I will readily admit we suck as fans. Always have, always will.
you won't see it cause you get your butt whipped showing up to those places in another teams uni...

You guys arguing about this do realize that season ticket holders sell their seats and make a massive profit right?
Yeah
I’m scratching my head wondering why they are blaming Jerry for Cowboys fans selling their tickets
That man gets blamed for everything under the sun around here
Its not like HE is selling his own tickets to anyone

It's rowdier for sure in the North stadiums, been to some, but to Zeke's point, no one wants to freeze their butt off to enjoy the game. There's a reason why all those Philly fans are going to end up retiring in Arizona and Florida. LOL
