FIFA installs blackout curtains at Cowboys' AT&T Stadium for World Cup

FIFA has installed blackout curtains at AT&T Stadium in Arlington for the ongoing World Cup matches, effectively addressing sunlight glare issues that the Dallas Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones has previously resisted. This modification comes during a match between Japan and Sweden. Despite calls from players and supporters for similar improvements during NFL games, Jones has consistently rejected the idea, attributing the issue to the stadium's design. Upcoming matches at the stadium are scheduled mainly in the late afternoon and evenings, likely reducing the need for the curtains. Jones's past remarks reflect his stance that weather conditions are part of football.
