Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says fans will be able to attend home games

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones delivered some intriguing news Wednesday:

“The Dallas Cowboys plan on playing all of our football games and we plan on playing them in front of our fans,” Jones said.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says AT&T Stadium has a “naturally-built airflow” that can help keep fans safe. “I’m really proud that we have that stadium to work with.” Cowboys’ first home game is Sept. 20 vs. Falcons. Jones seems intent on having at least some fans there.

This on the same day the Washington Football Team said it would play its games without fans.

As of now, the state of Texas allows 50 percent capacity for sporting events.

Jones said the team will adhere to any local or state protocols regarding attendance and they don’t have a number of fans in mind at this point, but he said he thinks the size of AT&T Stadium and the number of suites make them capable of having people on hand while maintaining social distancing.

#Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn’t have expectation on fan size yet says dealing with a moving target but suite capacity gives them extra control and 3 million square feet capacity. There will be pods of people and people will be spread apart. Won’t speculate on the numbers.
