Yes.. I chuckled while putting this together.

I hope he and the team get the home field support they all deserve.

---------

Tony Romo laughed when asked if he'd been following the Cowboys' ticket sales for this weekend's game against the Giants.

"No, I haven't kept up," he said. "It's going to be great. The crowd is going to be great."

That was bound to come back to Romo after his last home game at AT&T Stadium. Following the Cowboys' overtime win against Houston on Oct. 5, he famously lamented the fact that the home team had to go to a silent count in their own building.

When asked if he'd consider buying tickets himself, Romo responded "If I need to, it would be worth it."

Don't expect to see a special Romo section when the Cowboys kick off against New York, but Romo was confident his home crowd will be much better for them this time around.

"I think our fans are going to be outstanding this game," he said. "It's going to be loud, we're going to make it very difficult, I think, in the stadium."

The Cowboys have drawn plenty of flak in their first three home games for the amount of opposing support in the building. The 49ers, Saints and Texansall has sizable contingents for their games at AT&T Stadium.

As well he should, when was the last time the fan base was this excited? It should be rocking on Sunday. I was in Seattle last week and you could hear chants of "Defense" in Seattle´s last two drives, it was awesome, it´s time for the home crowd to bring the noise.

we always seem to have good crowds against divisional rivals..

one thing that makes up for the large amount of non division teams invading our stadium is the large number of cowboy fans at our away games.

places like san fran, kansas city, tennessee ,carolina,arizona and so on.

i even heard some cowboy fans in seattle.

Unfortunately, over the past few seasons, when the home crowd is actually ramped up, the team tends to have its biggest letdowns. It is third and long, the crowd is ramped up and noisy, and the defense allows the conversion.

If you win it, they will come. Jerry, are you listening? The optimist in me says, yes. This last 7 months has cracked the Rhinoplasty wide open and sense is finally creeping in. Yes, there is a God and he is tired of watching his team lose!!!!

If they don't get it this week...I don't think they ever will. This is a opponent from the East Coast who comes in every year. Who have beaten us more than we've beaten them in our own stadium. If fans sell their tickets this week than its just going to be this way until something drastic changes.

Incredible, huge Cowboys crowd, the 12th man was quiet at the end and all you could hear was "Defense" and "let's go Cowboys", amazing experience.

In the games I've gone to, when the majority of fans at home are going for the Cowboys, they have no idea what to do.

I'd say well over half yell as loud as they can when we are on offense due to their excitement. When we go on defense they loose interest and quiet down. What is wrong with them!

I don't think lack of noise is the issue - I once went to AT&T Stadium for a Cowboys-Lions game and the crowd was piercingly, painfully loud.

The issue is WHEN. Get loud more often when the OTHER team's offense is on the field!

Check out Maximum Sports online. The wife and I traveled from AZ to watch Cowboys/Commanders a few years back. I'd use them again.

I guess I am not the only one who noticed this :)

For me the saints game was a turning point for this team as we faced an offensive minded head coach with a great Qb and won big. Those types of teams have embarrassed us in recent past.

Then we won a hard fought game in ot against the texans.

But the Seattle game was a season defining statement game and it going to go down as a very significant game in cowboys history. Cool that u were there.
