I usually like to go the route of having a little fun in this segment, but that doesn’t feel appropriate nor the right time for it after last weekend. There is a real issue going on at AT&T Stadium.
The Dallas Cowboys do not have much of a home-field advantage.
The Cowboys players and coaches each recognized the overwhelming amount of orange in stands last Sunday and the chants echoing throughout the stadium. In a league where it is already hard enough to win, hearing the opponent’s name chanted in your home stadium only adds another layer of difficulty to navigate.
Jayron Kearse: “It was bad just to hear them chanting, ‘Broncos,’ in our home stadium. It goes in with everything about how embarrassing it was today. That was embarrassing.”

We stay the course with the turf, the roof and windows likely being open, and another week of eliminating any weather questions. As it stands now, Cowboys fans need to figure out a way to get more involved in these home games.
That starts with fans turning their trips to AT&T Stadium from tourist events into an active fan experience rooting on the Cowboys. This all ties into the fanbase growing their football IQ and knowing when to get things going. It may not seem big, but every little thing matters in this league.
