Twitter: Stephen Jones on opposing fanbases invading AT&T Stadium: Well, it happens

[Mannix]

There are ways for Booger and Chuckles to keep them out if they really wanted to....but they don't....Booger is to hell bent on showing the sideshow off....it's embarrassing as hell....as is the entire organization.

I remember a SF playoff game against the Seahawks where they only allowed people with California zip codes to buy tickets. Thats one way to minimize it, but I don’t know if the Jones’ would risk the potential not to sell out if they tried that for regular season games

Hell would freeze over before Jerry would EVER take that risk. A butt in a seat is all he wants, no matter what team that butt roots for.

Surprised there hasn't been a thread about it, cant post video because of language. If you haven't seen it, it's from training camp, Jamie Fox was live and Jerry is beside him talking about a players height, weight, hand size, and then mentions the players private part size. After Jerry says that Jamie Fox instantly ends the live, but damn Jerry is a weirdo

Look ticket sales are ticket sales.

At least the opposing fans will help keep the stadium full.

It wasn’t full last week. Noon games are notoriously late arriving crowds, but it looked to me just based in the towels draped over the seat backs, there were probably 15% open seats at the end of the 1st quarter. I suspect similar this week, maybe worse.

(not) Stephen: "We make money either way, so as long as people buy tickets, we don't care who buys them. That's why we're all in!"

I think most of us work to make money....those of you that don't, I could use another Ranch hand or two....

All about that MONAYYYY...Amirite Steve-O?

A few on the board pointed out the seats didn’t look as full, but there’s been no mention of it to Jerry and in the media. I’m guessing no one will notice many empty seats on Sunday with Lamar Jackson coming into town. He puts a lot of butts in the seats.

I have two sets of seats. I go to about 3-4 games a year and sell the rest. It ensures that I pay nothing to go to those 3-4 games.

Don't like it? Then don't charge me for a PSL.

I'll be there tomorrow.

Can't be mad at anyone wanting to sell. It is very telling that so many would want to though. Really wish ownership gave a crap about who's in those seats.

The fact that they don't.....well...y'all are free to finish that sentence.

 

[mrmojo]

We go watch the Cowboys if they play in Phoenix and that place is almost like a Cowboys home game.....so yeah it does happen unfortunately

money signs in the seat that's all that matters

From a business standpoint, absolutely. It gets complicated when the guy raking in the cash has made himself solely responsible for building and developing the talent on the field. Would the casual fan rather watch a boring, slow grind win, or an exciting loss?

Don't make me answer that!!!! Exciting loss, more of those, heads start to roll!!

Haha I'm with ya, brother. Unfortunately I don't think the overlords from Arkansas see it that way. Can't be the most wealthy franchise in the world without the flashy plays on E-Spin.

The Cowboys are a draw for some reason. I would expect opposing fans to buy tickets and try to watch games against Dallas.

I live in NJ. I've been to a few Cowboys Giants games in the past, but in the cold weather in an outdoor stadium it is a miserable experience. I am sure it is very different at AT&T stadium.

I’ve been to Cowboy games in Philly and New Jersey. In terms of just the stadium, the Linc in Philly is much better than the Giants stadiu—Met Life IIRC.

 

[shabazz]

The teams can't control, nor the fans, that sell them on the secondary market, and who buys them.
You can't say ... only a Cowboys fan (or whatever team) can buy them... I would not doubt if some people buy tickets, then themselves turn around and try to make a profit from them.

I can't see as many Ravens fans taking over the stadium as the Saints fans did. Saints closer proximity to make that drive. And many transplants are here as well.
3 friends of mine are Saints fans.

Friends don't let friends be Saints fans....

Guess people forgot about the Cleveland game where you could hear Lets Go Cowboys and the fans chanting for Aubrey.

It happens and that was not the first time I heard cowboys fans at different stadiums nor is it the first time hearing fans of other teams at Cowboy stadium.

Hey, Stephen Jones has greater things to be concerned about - like hot dog buns.
