The Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium hosted several high-profile games during the Knockout Stages of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Fans got to see got to see megastar Erling Haaland and Norway take down Côte d'Ivoire and Egypt edge Australia in a penalty shootout during the Round of 32, before seeing Spain end Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal's dreams in the Round of 16. On Tuesday afternoon, the stadium will host the highly anticipated semifinal showdown between France and Spain, before switching gears and preparing for the upcoming NFL season. One thing that many NFL fans have noticed during the stadium's run as a World Cup venue is the lack of glare from the sun pouring into the stadium. That has long been a talking point, with players struggling to locate the ball during late afternoon games.

Rather than sticking with what works and offering a simple solution to an unnecessary problem, Cowboys and AT&T Stadium officials will remove the fixtures and return to business as usual for the upcoming NFL season.

As far as the organizers are concerned, it's a non-issue during Cowboys games, despite players saying otherwise. “We feel like the stadium operates incredibly well for Cowboys games and how we want it to," Cowboys’ and AT&T Stadium’s executive vice president and chief revenue officer Chad Estis told the Dallas Morning News. “It’s a different crowd. Different set of circumstances. The stadium is being used very differently. The spaces that we use for Cowboys games, some of them weren’t used; some of them were used very differently.” — Brandon Loree (@Brandoniswrite) November 10, 2024When AT&T Stadium was used for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight, curtains were also used to keep away the glare, so it seems like everyone understands how to stop the problem but Jerry Jones and the Cowboys. Let's just hope it doesn't become a talking point again this season and create an issue that ends up costing the Cowboys a game during the season. As for the grass surface instead of the artificial turf, that will be bidding farewell along with the tint, too. — Sign up for the Cowboys Daily Digest newsletter for more free coverage from Dallas Cowboys on SI —Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
