It remains absolutely wild that Jerry Jones built a $1.2 billion stadium with massive windows in a east-west orientation all while refusing to use curtains during games. But fear not: The Dallas Cowboys do realize that the sun’s glare can be a nuisance.
At least when it comes to press conferences.
One day after blinding sunlight cost CeeDee Lamb a would-be touchdown, Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy met with the media for his Monday press conference in Frisco. Yet, the media staff quickly had to set up a shield because the sun was shining right into McCarthy’s eyes.
What a concept!
The sun is causing a glare in the Cowboys press conference room.
So there’s a shield to block the sun from Mike McCarthy’s face.
Novel concept. pic.twitter.com/BKxp0Wn0I3

There’s something here in the press conference room today to block the sun from being directly in the coach’s eyes as he speaks. Interesting concept. pic.twitter.com/XhvyAegb0t

If the sun is distracting for someone speaking at a podium, just imagine how tough it can be on players trying to see a football.
AT&T Stadium does have a curtain system that is used for concerts, boxing and basketball. Jones just straight-up refuses to use it for football. Maybe this latest bit of irony in the press conference can break through with the Cowboys owner.
