Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium Sun Glare Sparks Player Complaints

- AT&T Stadium's southwest-facing glass panels allow sunlight to stream onto the field during late-afternoon games, causing visibility issues for players.
- Cowboys players, including CeeDee Lamb, and opponents have reported struggling to see passes due to the sun's glare during critical moments of games.
- Owner Jerry Jones has dismissed calls to address the issue, claiming the sun affects both teams equally and provides no competitive disadvantage.
- The Cowboys and other NFL teams reportedly study the sun's trajectory to prepare for games at the stadium, with some adjusting strategies based on its impact.
- Despite player frustrations, data shows no significant statistical disadvantage caused by the sun, though complaints have intensified during the Cowboys' underwhelming season.
