Overview
- Jones told Fox 4 on Sunday that the Cowboys are considering tinting the stadium’s west-facing glass but stressed that ‘‘thinking about it’’ is not the same as deciding to act.
- FIFA required curtains or temporary tinting for several 2026 World Cup matches at AT&T Stadium, and the tournament’s adjustments provided a real-world example of how glare can be controlled.
- Sun glare from the stadium’s east–west orientation has affected play, most notably when CeeDee Lamb said he ‘‘couldn’t see the ball’’ on a dropped touchdown on Nov. 10, 2024.
- Jones long defended the stadium’s design for its outdoor look and perceived home-field edge, but he now frames tinting as a possible middle ground that would keep the venue’s aesthetic while reducing glare.
- No formal plan, timeline, cost estimate, or technical approval has been announced, and players, coaches, and fans will be watching for a concrete proposal, an engineering study, or a decision to use permanent tinting versus curtains.
