The Dallas Cowboys remain committed to attempting to host fans at AT&T Stadium this season. The Cowboys play their first home game on September 20 and Jerry Jones referenced studies showing COVID-19 is less likely to be transmitted in open, outdoor spaces. 

“We have space,” Jones said, via the team’s website. “Yeah, we have the ability to enclose it, we have the ability to open it wide open. There’s 3 million feet of air conditioned space out there. When I think of playing our games out there, I want our fans to think about space. Space is what we’re trying to take advantage of. We have it.”

Jones added that he’s “not worried about the air conditioning bill” that would come with such an approach.
