Travis Kelce goes on NSFW rant over Jerry Jones, Cowboys sun issue at AT&T Stadium
Somehow, in the midst of a four-game losing streak, the biggest storyline regarding the Dallas Cowboys is once again the sun. A glare that comes through AT&T Stadium played a role during Sunday’s game against Philadelphia, with CeeDee Lamb dropping a touchdown early on. He stated his desire for Jerry Jones to make a change and apparently, is not alone.
Travis Kelce was discussing the story on his podcast, New Heights, and went on an NSFW rant over the matter. Despite Kansas City rarely traveling to Dallas throughout his career, it’s affected the tight end when playing during the day. Add Kelce to a list of people upset about the stadium’s design flaw.
“I’m not going to lie, playing in that stadium, I’ve had that f****** problem before,” Kelce said. “That f****** glare coming through that end zone in the afternoon is f****** ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous… What the f***. Why the f*** is it that bright?”
Kelce’s lone game in AT&T Stadium was back in 2017, having seven receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown. Kickoff was at 3:25 p.m. CT in early November, similar to this last week against Philadelphia. Even with the good numbers on the stat sheet, Kelce clearly does not have fond memories of his trip.
Multiple events inside AT&T Stadium have seen curtains go up, blocking out the sun. Even so, Jones insists the glare is a home-field advantage for the Cowboys, saying it plays into strategy for whoever is calling plays.
“We know where the sun is going to be when we decide to flip the coin or not,” Jones said. “We do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium… Well, let’s tear the damn stadium down and build another one? Are you kidding me?” Jones exclaimed. “Everybody has got the same thing. Every team that comes in here has the same issues.”
Kelce certainly dealt with it seven years ago and was not a fan. Kansas City will play in AT&T Stadium again next season and depending on start time, the sun could be right back in Kelce’s eyes.
