ARLINGTON — Clapping and yelling apparently aren’t enough for the Cowboys any more.

At a press conference on Friday outlining the upgrades to AT&T Stadium, the Cowboys and AT&T also introduced the AT&T Stadium App, which will be available by the season opener on September 7.

At a certain point in a game, the app will send a push notification to the cell phones of those in attendance, telling fans to hit the “Unite this House” button. Those that hit the button will have their phone vibrate and the camera flash. The flashes will then be synced throughout the stadium.

If all goes well, there are plans to give fans other cell phone cheers.

“That’s the first one we’re announcing publicly,” said Travis Threlkel, Founder and Chief Creative Office of Obsurea Digital, which partnered with AT&T on the stadium upgrades. “It continues on and on.”
Threlkel said the Cowboys could add more as early as this year.

The app will also give fans updated traffic routes to the stadium, tell you nearest concession stands, take you on guided tours of the stadium and a number of other things.

How about an app that produces TD's for our offense, and an app that prevents TD's for our defense. LOL

As if the fans don't need any more excuses of not paying attention ot the game.

If Jerry would get as excited about winning football as he does all of this other stuff, we would be well on our way to a turnaround.

I guess Jerry won't be getting the message, unless he upgraded from his flip phone....LOL

Head Dispatcher: What's up?
911 Dispatcher: The heck I know! The board lit up like a Christmas tree! It's crazy!
Head Dispatcher: Are all those calls coming from..?
911 Dispatcher: Yep. AT&T Stadium. Most are yelling, "Help! All of a sudden so-and-so started convulsing! It's this damn phone!" Then the line goes dead.
Head Dispatcher: Send all available responders to the stadium asap... what the heck?
911 Dispatcher: Here we go again...
