Cowboys' Stadium Looked 'Empty' Before Kickoff Monday
Today at 09:29 PM
A rough season for the Dallas Cowboys has continued so far on Monday night.
Dallas currently trails the Houston Texans 17-10 in the second quarter on Monday Night Football. The Cowboys are on the verge of their fifth-straight loss, and some fans are indicating their displeasure by not showing up. Prior to kickoff, multiple media members made not of the empty seats at AT&T Stadium.
"A LOT of empty seats and Texans fans here at Jerry World #Cowboys," said NFL Network's Jane Slater.
"More empty seats than I can remember in a long time for a #DallasCowboys regular season game — especially a primetime game. #NFL#Cowboys," added NBC5's Pat Doney.
According to Blogging The Boys' RJ Ochoa, the weak attendance carried over into the first quarter.
"I'm certainly not a ticket sales expert but there appear to be a large number of empty seats at Monday night's Dallas Cowboys game," Ochoa said. "Look at how many seats are still occupied by the white towels and not people This was halfway through the first quarter for context."
"Lots of people pointing out the number of empty suites (look under the bottom banner, you can see the leather seats)," Ochoa said in a subsequent tweet. "Dallas Cowboys fans are fed up."

It's been a tough night for AT&T Stadium in general honestly. Prior to the game, a piece of metal fell from the top of the stadium onto the playing surface, necessitating the roof being closed for the contest.
Thankfully, no one was injured.
"The bottom done already fell out in Dallas," joked ESPN's Ryan Clark. "The top might as well, too."
Overall, this season has been an absolute nightmare for America's Team, and with quarterback Dak Prescott done for the year, things likely aren't going to get better.
We can't blame fans for being reluctant to show up at Jerry's World when the product on the field is subpar.
