[dupree89]

They asked a bunch of players what stadiums are most difficult to play in......looks like they don't fear playing in Dallas.

Per the article:

"Here are the results of 111 NFL players voting on the toughest place to play. Some gave multiple answers, so their first choice was worth 2 points, the second worth 1 and third worth 0.5."​

LMBO!

AT&T Stadium received two points. Okay. Let's see...

One player voted for AT&T as their first choice for toughest place to play. OR

Two players made AT&T their second choice for toughest place to play. OR

One player made AT&T their second choice, along with two additional players choosing the stadium as their third choice. OR

Four players made AT&T their third choice.



Not sure which scenario is more embarrassing.

Obviously the better the team, the tougher a place to win at. I think Green Bay or Buffalo in January is awful. I think Cleveland or New England in January is less awful.

Clearly they need to update the artwork.

Visiting teams going to AT&T is like taking a short luxury weekend vacation.

Great, now Jerry won't even consider putting a set of blinds in for sunny days

Yeah seems like bad weather east coast teams should reign supreme.

Most likely it was a Cowboys player as we have a losing record at home this year!!

Yeah, Texas Stadium is sacred ground for me, and it got loud at times, but I would never have considered it a “tough place to play” for an opponent.

Wonder how much having to dodge flying batteries in Philly was a factor.

Probably our own players voted AT&T

Hypothetically, as many as one-to-four Cowboys players could possibly be the culprit(s). I can easily see Micah Parsons being the single guy or among other teammates voting.

Seattle uses fake crowd noise and I will not be convinced otherwise.

I went in 2012 with my SO. She didn’t want to attend the game itself so I was able to get a single club seat dead on the 50 for a good price. The perfect seat.

From there I could see nearly everyone in the building, other than people directly above me, but most of the whole place. I noticed that the acceleration of the crowd noise did not match behavior. It would suddenly get very loud at the right times, yet no one seemed to be standing, cupping hands over mouths, or clapping, etc. I’ve been to many games at many places and a sudden roar requires certain things that didn’t happen. It got to where I was paying more attention to that than the game and I’m fully convinced it’s fake.

I asked someone on the way out who actually said this was investigated by the league and they found nothing. Yeah ok.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

It appears this is based mostly on noise, as nobody is "afraid" of playing in Minn... they have a cushy indoor stadium, and their Midwestern fans are overly nice, nothing like hard core northern east coast fans.

I'm surprised Denver isn't higher, just based on altitude adjustment alone

If I owned the Vikings, you better believe it would be an outdoor stadium. I know they have it indoors so they can host a SB every 10 years or so, but I'd say Screw That, and just have an outdoor icebox other teams/fans HATED, that would make Greenbay and Buffalo look like mild Miami winter. Get some wolves as mascots, run it 90% of the time, and make other teams hate life. As it stands, they're a sissy team nobody "fears".

Haha yes maybe some scarier paintings.

 

[acr731]

Dallas never has a true home game because of how often opposing fans take over the stadium. Opposing offenses have it far too easy (no crowd noise) at AT&T

 

[BoyzBlaster]

It's pretty funny that we are tied with London for scariest place to play.

 

[blueblood70]

You know once again I can look at a title don't have to read a single thing any of y'all responded to or what the story was even about is I could tell you this there isn't a single indoor stadium in today's NFL that's not easy to plan and when you play in one yourself and you go to another one it's pretty much like playing at home there isn't much difference and don't say it doesn't get loud at AT&T I've been there it gets loud and by the way how is it that we had that 18 game win streak there in a row or was it 17 up until this recent collapse I mean I guess it was so easy to play in that we forget that we won 17 in a row there but only bring that recency bias because you wanna make a little narrative to AT&T is so easy to play in it's all Jerry's fault poor us it's Jerry Jerry Jerry Jerry Jerry Jerry Jerry built an easy stadium player oh wait a minute that's why you won't close the curtains it is not an easy stadium to play in because they can get blinded maybe their eyes will burnout..


This is just another terrible thread with a terrible story trying to make a terrible narrative stick that somehow this is a cupcake place to play even though there's a lot and I mean some very similar stadiums all over the NFL that are pretty easy to play in because well they play in one at home and then when they go on the road they're playing indoors in another stadium that feels just like home this is the reality the only ones that are hard to play are the ones outdoors in that environment and there aren't many of those left so keep on with the weird narratives the weird posts and the weird passive aggressive shots at Jerry Jones you all are pathetic but that's OK that's why I didn't put anyone's name in it if you're reading this you can't say I was being mean this is just another bad pathetic passive aggressive knock on the ownership and yet here you are as fans still talking about his product on a daily basis....

You don't find art intimidating? What about a sun glare?

 

[jazzcat22]

Only 111 players?
Playing the devils advocate.

If a player has a bad game he may say it was tough to play at that stadium.
If a player has a career day, as many do against us, they will say they have no fear playing there.

Jerry World this season was the easiest to play for EVERY player.
