On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys hosted the Philadelphia Eagles at AT&T Stadium, and unfortunately for any Cowboys fan in attendance, they got smoked 6-34.
However, even in the blowout, there was a lot of controversy, which stems from one play.
While in the red zone, quarterback Cooper Rush had wide receiver Ceedee Lamb open in the endzone. However, Lamb could not reel in the catch, and it was later revealed that he was blinded by the sun coming in from the stadium’s west side.
Of course, the sun coming in from those big windows at AT&T Stadium has always happened, but it has never had such a high effect on the game.
After the game, owner Jerry Jones was questioned about the sun and went on a crazy rant.

“By the way, we know where the sun is going to be when we decide to flip the coin or not. We do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium,” said Jones.
This added another low point to an embarrassing season for both the Cowboys and Jones.
A Retirement Community Coould Be Behind The Biggest Flaw At AT&T Stadium
Ever since the game and Jones’ comments, there has been a lot of talk about why the stadium was even built in that specific direction.
However, on X, Tyler Webb, a co-host of the Pocket Presence podcast, explored that exact question in depth.
In a long thread, he mentioned that a senior living community was the only property within 140 acres of the stadium that wasn’t torn down while building AT&T Stadium.
He later concludes that this is why the stadium was built in that specific direction.
If that is true, then you can make a direct jump to it being the cause of the biggest flaw at AT&T Stadium and one of the worst in any NFL stadium
