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

[LonnieElam]

Well done.

Myself, I only attend road games even though I live in Frisco.

The stadium is 15 years old and has a handful of great memories. But seems to be known more for invading fans taking over. I fear what the Texans games is going to look like.

Yeah, road games are the best. I haven't been in a few years, but I've been to the folllowing: St. Louis, SF (Candlestick), Cleveland, SD, LA (the Coliseum), Seattle, Houston, and Denver. I'm thinking of going to Pittsburgh this season. Home games just aren't enjoyable to me anymore. I'll take my son to a PS game every season, but I don't regret selling.

 

[Coogiguy03]

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.

 

[LonnieElam]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the first home game against SF in 2014 was (no BS) easily 80% niners fans. It was bad.

 

[nightrain]

Many fans have mailed it in on the Cowboys. Just like the team.

 

[Asklesko]

You know what else happens? ****.

 

[jazzcat22]

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

Well I don’t see them but once in a great while now.

 

[Hardline]

I remember about 10 years ago the Cowboys had a road game in Arizona. In order to keep out the very large Cowboys fanbase from attending the game the Cardinals would only sell that games tickets to fans that attended a Cardinals preseason game.

 

[Praxit]

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.

....that place is an entertainment center. Booz, TV's, restaurants, variety of parlors..etc.

Then you get bamboozled by the STAR. Must be electrifying. ..

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones when asked on @1053thefan about a large number of Saints fans attending last Sunday’s game at AT&T Stadium and a similar expectation this Sunday with Ravens fans:

“Well, it happens. You don’t love it but I also understand people don’t get here very often. We haven’t played the Saints here a lot in this building. Of course, it’s an easy ride for a lot of Saints fans that are right across the way in Louisiana, so we know on occasion that’s going to happen. Obviously we prefer to have everybody sitting in that (stadium) a Cowboys fan.

“We’re certainly the beneficiary of that on the road most of the time, in terms of having large percentages of Cowboys fans in opposing teams’ stadiums. Understand it. Every now and then you’re going to have these teams that haven’t been to AT&T Stadium much and want to experience North Texas and what AT&T Stadium is about. If we had our preference, honestly, no, I’d like 100% of them to be Cowboys fans, but also know that can be unrealistic.”

I think I’m actually starting to hate this franchise.

Bro, same.

It’s not like there’s anything you can do about it

THE FOLLOWING IS A JOKE FOR THOSE THAT CAN'T TELL




*Rolls eyes* yes, it's completely normal for opposing fans to take over your home stadium. Especially when you've got 3 12-5 seasons that resulted a playoff game. Why would Cowboys fans want to watch that product? It couldn't possibly be that Cowboys fans are mad at the front office and want better product for their money. Nah, that's silly. It couldn't be it *insert cash register machine noises here*. Hey Jerry, why did we get so many Saints fans in our home stadium? Because you're a saint of a GM to 31 other teams.

wasn't 80% please

 

[BLEU3ASY]

Dallas fans are invaders too! I don’t get the complaint.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

We take over other stadiums, sauce for goose is sauce for gander

 

[Blackspider214]

This has been going on forever. Season ticket holders find some games to sell way over market value to opposing team fans to recoup their season ticket cost.

(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!"

actually they get their money up front each season for all tickets.
All tickets are always sold by the owner of the psl's. Every game is a sell out to nfl owners. They cant lose.

The problem is owners of psl's will sell to anyone, if they all would only sell to cowboy fans then only cowboy fans would be there.
It has nothing to do with the jones boys.

Dudes lying. All he's seeing is those dollar signs.

 

[Wangchung83]

I just got $10,875 for my 8k PSL's. I couldn't care less who goes to those games, anymore. Ha!!

Yep know a bunch of former ticket holders who sold right after week one as well. As soon as dark deal was signed, put them on the market. I’ve already said Jerry lost me and he lost at least 15 that I know directly. Good luck boys, I won’t be buying or attending for 5 years minimum.

All about the bottom line.
