Overview
- Jones said Sunday he is “giving that a thought” about tinting the stadium windows after seeing the changes FIFA required during the 2026 World Cup.
- During the World Cup the venue operated under FIFA control as “Dallas Stadium,” and organizers used window tinting and drawn curtains for some matches to reduce sunlight on the field.
- The stadium’s east–west design has produced late-day glare that has affected play, including a widely reported 2024 missed end-zone catch when sunlight hit a receiver in the eyes.
- Jones has long defended natural light as an intentional fan amenity and home-field edge, but his comments mark the first public openness to permanent mitigation.
- Any final decision will weigh changing sun angles between summer and the NFL season, engineering and cost implications, and effects on players’ sightlines and the fan experience so no fix has been adopted yet.
