Taylor Swift Got Curtains Put Up For Her Shows At AT&T Stadium, Meaning Those Annoying 4:00 Cowboys Games Could Have Been Fixed This Whole Time
There may be no better indication of the amount of power Taylor Swift has than the fact she got curtains draped over the massive windows at AT&T Stadium for her shows in Dallas. Forget all the sellouts and many millions of dollars, there probably isn't another person on the planet who could have pulled this off.
Jerry Jones has made it clear in the past that no matter how much fans across the country or even his own players complain about the sun beaming through the huge windows, he's unwilling to do anything about it.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram — The true answer is because he doesn’t want to. He remains stubborn on the issue that has been a question and concern since AT&T Stadium opened in 2009.
Curtains are put up for concerts to block out the sun to ensure the quality of the event and the performance.
The same can be done for Cowboys games, where the sun has been a factor in the afternoon for fans and players.
Cowboys receivers have complained that the sun impacts their ability to catch passes for a number of years.
When former receivers Dez Bryant and Brice Butler complained about the sun and a lack of curtains in 2017, Jones showed little concern.
“I don’t see curtains at all,” Jones said. “We’re good at knowing where that sun is during these games. So, I don’t see that in the future.
“The sun has not been a factor at all in any win or loss we’ve had in that stadium.”
Fact check on that last part:
This asshole built a billion-dollar stadium, faced it East and West and refuses to admit the sun is ever an issue. It's such a power trip and level of ignorance to reality that you almost have to respect it.
I can't stand watching a 4:00 game in Dallas for solely this reason. You can barely see half of the field on TV and you have guys squinting through the sunbeams trying to find the football because Jerry will only hang the curtains for Taylor. I don't know how she got that done, but it's demonstrable evidence that she's the top dog in the biz right now.
