The Dallas Cowboys are currently taking part in training camp as they prepare for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. The Cowboys are hoping that both their defense and offense will perform at an elite level this year after only the offense came along for the ride during the 2025 season.
Recently, AT&T Stadium in Arlington hosted games for the FIFA World Cup, during which the curtains were required to be put up in order to block sunlight. Sun filtering in through the stadium's gigantic windows has long been a talking point among fans and players alike, with some requesting that the windows be tinted in order to allow for better visibility.
Recently, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones weighed in on the discussion.
“Well, do you know something?” Jones told Fox 4, per Mike Florio of NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk. ‘Thinking about it and doing something about it are two different things. . . . But I’ll think about it.
“It’s hard to tell that time of the year, because the sun’s not the same. This time of the year that it is, in the fall. And that is, you get on into — sun changes, and the angle of that sun changes from September through year-round. But as we look at it, I like some of the effects of the tinting. And so we’re giving that a thought.”
Sunlight can make it difficult to see both for the players on the field and the fans watching the game in the stadium or at home, and at this point, it's unclear why Jones has been so against solving the issue in past years.
However, maybe 2026 will be the year that the Cowboys follow in the footsteps of FIFA and allow for better visibility of their product.
