Overview
- In the 31-28 Thanksgiving win over the Chiefs, George Pickens said he missed a crossing-route catch because the sun in AT&T Stadium prevented him from seeing the ball.
- After the game, Pickens suggested lowering curtains to block the glare but emphasized the decision rests with owner Jerry Jones.
- Stadium consultant Ben Veenbrink said new venues typically commission sun-path analyses and suggested AT&T Stadium’s window and orientation choices may not have been fully assessed.
- Jones has previously framed the sunlight as a deliberate advantage for Dallas, and reporting indicates curtains are unlikely for the Dec. 14 home game against the Vikings.
- Players have long noted visibility issues at certain afternoon kickoff times in the east-west-oriented building, with CeeDee Lamb saying he had warned Pickens about the glare.
