When AT&T Stadium was built, there was a clear long-term vision that Jerry Jones had in mind for the stadium and for the Dallas Cowboys franchise. He envisioned Super Bowls, hosted by his stadium and won by his team. He envisioned grand performances held at the modern-day cathedral. Instead, it has been a bit of a failure, mostly due to the performance of the team.
After constant disappointments seemingly every year, Jones once again went into the 2024 season with high expectations. On Sunday, those came crashing all the way down, and it could lead to wholesale changes within the organization. The main reason? Jones might be genuinely embarrassed by what transpired at “Jerry World” while he celebrated his 82nd birthday.
