The Dallas Cowboys have a myriad of problems: a franchise quarterback who is injured and could be out for the year, a porous defense, a home field that used to be an advantage, and probably the biggest issue these days: curtains.
This came after the Cowboys were routed at home 34-6 by the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and a potential touchdown catch by All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb went by the wayside as he said that the glare from the sun got in his way.
Jones then went on a tangent when asked about it after the game.
“Well let’s tear the damn stadium down and build another one?” Jones said. “Are you kidding me?”

Jones went on to talk about his favorite window dressing.
‘Of all the things that we need to improve, that is way down the list of improvement,’ Jones said on 105.3 The FAN Tuesday, adding that AT&T Stadium was constructed to have an outdoors feel.
‘It’s the largest air conditioned space in the world.’ Jones added. ‘Every venue has certain things that at certain ways and times can create an advantage. That really goes under the category of home field advantage It should be an advantage to the home team. … It has been advantage for us to know where the sun is. I don’t want to change that.’
Whatever advantage Jones thinks he has at AT&T Stadium hasn’t paid off this year, as Dallas has lost each of its four home games and has lost four games in a row overall.
The curtains won’t be a factor during their next home game, Monday night against the Houston Texans.
