Home field advantage is nonexistent

[TrailBlazer]

How do we fix this?

Loud cheers were heard when GB had that pick 6. Most fans weren't in their seats to start the second half. That's pretty ******* weak. Home field should be a big advantage but we just blew it. Again. Sickening.

Can we play all our games on the road?

It's like that all over the league now. It's the internet era. All you need is a computer/device and a credit card and you can buy tickets before the home fans or buy them from the home fans.

When your head coach is a loser and your defense is high school caliber, hard to get the home fans excited

it’s 100,000 seat venue. you’re gona get a lot of opposing fans. personally it wasn’t bad in my eyes. there’s been worse games. (SF when they came) you can put this team in KC with their place or heck even denver & you will get the same result = loss.

Did you see Rodgers working the crowd up from the sidelines. They aren't even home games anymore. Loud when we are on offense, silent on defense. Embarrassing!

Harsh but fair.

It is definitely not like that everywhere. Look at New England or GB or Seattle or KC. All great home field advantages. Dallas is not even close.

I live in Green Bay, and my buddy flew down there and he texted me to say the Packer fans have taken over the stadium. Now I am not so sure who is the bigger at fault in this? Is it the owner or is it the local Cowboy fans?

Yes. Pissed me off!!

 

[Section446]

It's been that way for 10 years. We have the worst home fan base of the 19 NFL stadiums I've been to.

Home games and home field was ok last season......

Was it? I recall getting beat in the playoffs at home off a bye week.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

We don't have a defense at home. Defense struggled at home under Campo, Parcells, Wade, Rob Ryan and now Marinelli.

It's also not coincidence that we've basically had mediocre safety play outside of 2003 when we had Woody and Ro. Williams. We might get good safety play out of one of the safeties, but not a chance that both will be good at the same year.

I've was at practically every home game for the Saints from 2008-2012 ( I don't go anymore cause I'm not a Saints fan) and it was the same way, super loud and opposing team's fans were kept quiet......

Because It's a 100K stadium is a BS excuse! If you are going to market yourself as Americas Team, and you have the largest fanbase in the USA. There is absolutely no excuse for that stadium to not be 99% full of screaming Cowboys fans every single game. It all comes down to locals selling out for a few bucks. Makes us long distance fans sick.

 

[Cowboyz88]

Uh you know how you get a homefield advantage?

Get a freaking defense.

At no point did I, sitting on my couch, think that Marinelli's crap defense would stop Rodgers, so I suspect that the fans in the stands felt the same way.

lol y’all act like this is new. it’s not only happening in dallas. but probably 90% of other stadiums as well. being america’s team or not means nothing honestly. the product this year has been proven to not be great. 30k packer fans in the stands had little to do with us playing no defense.

I traveled to Dallas for the opening game this year and these were my observations.

1. The stadium is an attraction for opposing teams fans. There were a ridiculous amount of Giants fans touring the stadium the day before the game. I would assume if fans attend an away game, heavy chance it’s going to be vs. the Cowboys.

2. Due to the size, the echo is not as good.

3. Fans very easygoing. Every other football game I’ve attended, fans stand the whole time. I saw people getting annoyed at others for standing. Also, crowd doesn’t get very loud when we are on defense.
