For years, fans, players and coaches have complained about the sunlight at AT&T Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys.
The stadium was built on such an angle that, during late afternoon games in the fall, the sun shines through the huge glass windows in the end zones. While it makes for a beautiful setting, it's not the most practical in terms of on-field gameplay. Players have often complained about the light getting in their eyes during big moments.

Jerry Jones, though, has said it's not happening.
The owner of the Dallas Cowboys loves his $1 billion stadium. He hasn't planned on changing it. However, that mindset might now be changing.
Curtains were put in for different games, including World Cup contests, and more changes could happen during the NFL season.
Jones has admitted to finally considering some needed changes to the Dallas Cowboys' playing stadium in 2026.

Jones told FOX 4 in a wide-ranging preseason interview that he is finally considering at least tinting the windows, to make the sunlight less bright on the field, ahead of the 2026 NFL regular season.
“We’re giving that a thought," he admitted.
That's a big first step.
Hopefully, for the players' sakes, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys will finally do something to make it easier for those having to catch passes, return punts and more on the sunny AT&T Stadium field each Sunday.
