Keeping the roof closed might have saved the Cowboys. We've seen this team fall apart at home in cold weather (Ravens last year and against the Eagles twice) and it looked like the indoor "heat" got to the Eagles and wore them out in both games this season.
The Cowboys need some better in-game entertainment though. I agree, use the video boards to get the crowd more involved and louder. NFL rules state that the PA guy can't be a "cheerleader" like they are in the NBA so they'll have to use alternate methods. How about a wolf howling sound byte whenever DeMarcus Ware gets a sack? I remember the Dallas Desperados used to do that and it got the crowd into it.
Perhaps some better music choice? Especially after touchdowns. We need some songs that will keep the crowd rockin up until the following kickoff. They celebrate the TD and extra point but after that, it goes back to the same noise level.
We need some more TRADITIONS. Something distinct, I like how Seattle raises their 12th man flag before every game, that's pretty cool. New stadium, now is the perfect time to implement some Cowboys home traditions that will carry over forever. There's such a big emphasis on the star at midfield and how "sacred" it is, how about every game we get a special guest (can be a former Cowboy, local Texas celebrity, etc.) to come out to midfield and slam the ball on the 50 yard line (like how Emmitt did in response to TO in the infamous game) to start the pregame intros off? This could kinda be like Florida State's mascot putting the flaming spear into the grass
Or we should take a page out of Nebraska's book and do a Tunnel Walk for pregame introductions. It makes sense with the huge video boards and the players passing through the fan lounge on the way to the field. That would really be epic.
There's SO much more this organization can do to create a storied atmosphere at games instead of dancing cheerleaders in cages on the endzone plazas
