Dallas Cowboys Undermine Jerry Jones With Curtains For Jake Paul Boxing Match At AT&T Stadium

Jerry Jones refuses to put up curtains at AT&T Stadium during Dallas Cowboys games even though CeeDee Lamb dropped a touchdown on Sunday because he could not see. Now just five days later, large blackout curtains are covering the windows for Jake Paul’s boxing match against Mike Tyson.

You truly could not write a funnier sequence of events if you tried.

If you are not yet familiar with the scene in Arlington, the problem is very simple and it actually began the day AT&T Stadium opened in 2009. Multiple large sets of windows in the end zone create a brutal glare in the late afternoon. Sun typically shines down onto the field of play during the second half.

On Sunday, during Dallas’ blowout loss to Philadelphia, the sun had a direct impact on the outcome. Lamb was unable to catch a wide-open touchdown because the sun literally blinded his eyes. The 25-year-old wide receiver said after the game that he would love if curtains were installed to block the light. He is not the first player to have this problem. He will not be the last.

This late-afternoon glare has been an issue for 15 years but Jones won’t do anything about it. He actually chooses not to use curtains during NFL games and repeatedly shot down the idea throughout the week.

The 82-year-old owner’s adamant stance regarding the glare would make sense if it a big, expansive project was required to fix the problem. However, the curtains are already installed. They already exist.

Paul and Tyson will fight live on Netflix at the 50-yard-line of AT&T Stadium on Friday night. The glare will not be an issue because the blackout curtains have been deployed.
