Suggestions for improving the Cowboys' performance at home

[Red Dragon]

• Paint the end zones at AT&T Stadium with the opposing team's logos and colors.
• Open the roof to make it feel freezing in December, like Lambeau or FedEx. Open the end doors, too, for strong gusts of wind.
  
• Have all fans wear the opposing team's colors.
• Have fans boo the Cowboys and chant E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles! Here we go Giants, here we go! Go, Pack, go! Who dat? Who dat?
  
• Two days before the game, have the team get into an airplane at Dallas, take off and fly around for a few hours.
• Have the airplane land at Houston. Then, get the team into a bus for a 4-hour bus ride "to the city that's hosting the game."
  
• Have the team stay in a hotel the night before the game.
• Remove all signs of the Cowboys star logo, Rowdy and the cheerleaders.
• Have fans boo Santa Claus.
• Have the Cowboys wear road blue.
  
• Paint midfield with the opposing team's logo.
• Ban all players' family and friends from the game.
• Jazzcat22's suggestion: Switch locker rooms with the visiting team.
• Jazzcat22's suggestion: Jerry ought to sit in the visitors' section for owners.

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, seriously, I think they need to open the damn roof more. It should only be closed when a) it's pouring down rain/severe storms/extreme winds or b) extremely cold. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, they actually do stay in a hotel the night before the game.
Gaylord in Grapevine I believe.

but to add to the list, JJ needs to sit in the visitor section for owners.
switch locker rooms

Oh. I had thought they stayed in their own homes.

-Don't play 3-4 teams in Dallas?
-Also, don't play any Red teams at home?
-Start playing our hardest games on the road?

I don't think it's any magic prescription. Unless is the struggling against 3-4 defenses maybe. Otherwise, I think we just played a lot of good teams at home this year, and couldn't press home the advantage. The team does play well when the chips are down, so games like the SEA game on the road maybe we get a little bit 'up' for. I guess we'll find out this week.

don't wear the blue jerseys anymore

*ducks*

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Pay an actor who looks like an opposing player to whiz on Cowboys gear and apparel and then broadcast it on the team's locker room TV.

Import large numbers of out of state Cowboys fans. We were often sonically equaling the Chicago fans in their stadium last night. I was in the bathroom and there was a huge roar in the stadium - two local fans said that they didn't know if that was a bad or a good event because the damn Cowboys fans were out-cheering the Bears fans most of the game.

Send Candice to Europe, it's gotta be Candice..
I kid...

 

[links18]

Play the Bears every week?

It's all about Romo being "healthy". We lost to the 49ers before Tony was healthy, then we lost to the Skids when Romo got injured, then the Cards when Romo sat out. And then we lost to the Eagles when Romo wasn't healthy.

Bulldoze the entire edifice and build a real football stadium.

1. Turn off the sound system. A Jumbo Jet could land in the parking lot and you wouldn't hear it over Jerry's sound system. It a huge distraction.
2. Turn of the sound system.
3. Turn off the sound system.

I do like the suggestion to keep the roof open.

 

[Red Dragon]

Is it legal - or even possible - to only sell tickets to fans who fit a certain description - i.e., don't make huge money, are not the white collar type?

 

[BigD5]

Don't have an unfair disadvantage by playing a huge division game on Thursday after playing late Sunday night in New York and the team not even get back to Dallas until 5am Monday morning

That would let some of the sound produced by the sound system out.
