According to ESPN’s Kalin Kaler, the Cowboys board talked about the “havoc” the tournament would cause, but Jones didn’t see it as a potential problem that could affect performance, so “they thought I can’t do anything about it. .” He said. This is the team on site. “Bottom line: We’re the sixth-winningest team in the NFL (182-131, .581 regular season), as we do and have done for the last 20 years,” Jones told Kehler. . “Since 2016 (an All-Star year), we’re the fourth-winningest team in the NFL (85-52, .620 regular season).Koehler pointed out that while stadium tours are common in the NFL, the level of accessibility offered by the Cowboys is very different from other clubs.

On The Pat McAfee Show in March (starting at 7:15), Jones told Kahler that he’s never heard complaints about the tournament or fans wandering into stadiums, adding that he previously said he was “swimming against the tide” and added , “That’s not going to change,” he added.This sounds strange considering how often we talk about keeping things normal so that every coach and player can have a normal week of practice to prepare for a game without interruption.
Tours are nothing new for Cowboy. They welcomed their millionth fan to the stadium tour in 2011 and commemorated the moment with Jones serving as a fan guide. Interested fans can join the tournament for just $40. If you’re a die-hard Cowboys loyalist, purchasing a $70 ticket will get you several perks, including a fan experience that includes an authentic fan letter from Jones.
