I have another thread I want to make, but I'm going to wait until I calm down before I make that. Not to mention I've said my piece on another threads. That said, I will post this thread instead. Should we move our home games to the Cotton Bowl for the rest of the season? We haven't won a game at home in 2024 (including the Packers game). In fact, we've been pummeled every game. Texas Stadium no longer exists, so that's not an option. However, the Cowboys DID used to play at the Cotton Bowl. The Cotton Bowl can hold just over 92,000 with the record attendance being 96,009. That's not drastically less than what AT&T Stadium can hold.

Plus, it's an outdoor stadium. It's October. I know I live in Ohio, but I used to live in Texas. It's probably turning nice, weather-wise, in Texas by now. What's the harm in having a few outdoor games? It almost feels like the Cowboys dread playing at home now. So, why not move it to the Cotton Bowl to try to change the vibes around the team? Jerry can still get his money, and maybe we can actually have a home field advantage.

For one, I don't think there's any luxury boxes. Jerry isn't a fan of losing money because he'll have to give refunds.

There aren't? Looked like plenty of boxes during the Red River game. Plus, how many of these people in luxury boxes actually want to show up if we keep getting torched at home? At least this might shift our fortunes a bit. Or at least open the stadium roof. Do something different lol.

Honestly, I'm not sure. Lol Maybe they did renovations on it and put some in. Most stadiums built around that time didn't put in luxury boxes. If you saw some then they must have done renovations to that stadium. It's not only Cowboys fans who buy/rent luxury boxes.

I mean, I know they did a big renovation some years ago with the Cotton Bowl to give it higher seating capacity. Surely they added in luxury boxes too. If so, why not move, say, the Cowboys Texans game there?

Ticket sales and revenue are more important to Jerry than Super Bowls by a wide margin. There's not a chance we leave AT&T stadium.

Oh, I know what's important to Jerry. That's why I looked up the seat prices. Plus, Jerry could sell it as a throwback game and market the **** out of it. I mean, why not for one game a year have a game there? Might surprise him what happens.

Would not make a difference, lose where we are just as easily. First game ever in that stadium was a lost to E. Manning and it’s not been right since as far as being a home field advantage.

Trust me, you guys do not want to know how I really feel about this team ATM. I'm just saying this thread because 1. Maybe it gives the team a different jolt and 2. It's more of a way to calm myself down a bit so I don't completely unleash how angry I am about the game today.

It'll be a home game so that's another loss. No point. We might as well just lose at AT&T Stadium and not do all that extra work.

Perhaps, but how do we win all our road games and lose all our home games so far? That's odd and embarrassing imo.

I've been on here since 6:00 CT. I'm fuming. At this point what are we doing though? We're not going to win anything and this is not adding to our quality of life. It's making it worse. Why are we still here.

I mean, speaking for myself, this is my team, even if I'm probably not going to see this team in an NFCC game, much less a SB. That said, it is really frustrating, and, trust me, I'm doing everything to control my anger ATM. But hey, I'm a horse, and, when we horses are angry, it takes some doing for us to calm down.
