So was at the game and as others have pointed out since the Death Star opened, there is zero home field advantage. The raiders fan seemed twice as loud an energetic as ours.

They really need to open up some cheap seats and get the die hard fans in there but then who will pay $72 for nachos?

on the plus side some asshat was wearing a giant cowboy hat in front if us blocking the view of like 5 ppl.

oh and the refs were worse in real life than I’m sure they appeared on tv

Teams rarely have the same advantage, especially against uncommon opponents. That’s just the way it is.

Tear that stoopid stadium down....I freakin hate it, and will NEVER visit it....not even if I had a free ticket and parking pass....ZERO home field advantage and the refs treat us just as bad there as they do on the road.

I’ve been to ONE game at Cowboys stadium after being a regular at Texas Stadium.

Cowboys stadium is not a fan friendly stadium. Not worth the price when you’re a mile from the field (even in the good seats) and end up watching the game on the TV anyway as the jumbo screen is the only way to really see the action.

yep we have far more homefield in away games.

Trust me when the tuna was here and the boys played in Charlotte 2 years in a row, the CEO of the bank gave me the luxury box tickets both years and you would have thought we were playing in the old stadium in Texas with how loud it was. The boys fans outnumbered the Panthers fans by a large margin.

Ok...I'm gonna say it....been thinking it for a long time. The fans I see at AT&T for the most part just seem like a bunch of goof balls...ones that say at the beginning of the season, We are going to "the bowl" this year...."the Bowl" ??? They still think Bill Bates should be in the ROH and want Troy Aikman to be the next Head Coach. The Cowboy fans that travel really do seem like the real deal as compared to the ones that visit The Dump (South) in Arlington.

I've spent enough time around DFW to understand the mentality and demeanor of the local fan.

They aren't going to inspire the team to be better, it's gotta be the opposite.

So yeah, there's no home field advantage at all....and it's not about opposing fans wanting to see Jerry World.

Dallas fans really do not know when to cheer. I have been a Cowboys season ticket holder the last 9 years from Louisiana and been to hundreds of LSU games. LSU fans know when to cheer and are loud. Dallas fans start cheering when Dallas has the ball and are quiet when the defense is on the field. I am screaming for every defensive play and mostly some people around me will start screaming. But most people just sit on their hands and do nothing. a few women in front of me turn around a give a look like what are doing? I tell them this is not church, stay home if you want to shop on your phone. It is sad that the BIG screen has to tell people when to make noise. It's sad that most fans will cheer to be on the big screen versus giving our defense an advantage when the opponents offense can't hear.
