Brian Schottenheimer finally addressed the long-running sun issue at AT&T Stadium that stirred up a fuss last season. You remember how Cowboys owner Jerry Jones basically laughed off the problem, saying they should just “tear the stadium down” instead of blocking the sun? 

Meanwhile, CeeDee Lamb was shaking his head, clearly annoyed, saying he simply couldn’t “see the ball” because of the glare. But Schottenheimer took a more level-headed approach. 

“if you guys could see the process and the plan we have in place to figure it out. We have satellite imaging, we have pictures of the sun, when it’s coming down. There’s a big plan and process,” the head coach said. “But I think when you look at historically at what’s happened it really hasn’t affected many situations. We plan for it. The opponents plan for it. But at the end of the day, it’s something that we’re aware of. It’s very beautiful. It’s majestic when the sun comes through there.”

Here’s the thing: AT&T Stadium faces east and west, unlike most fields, making this an ongoing challenge. Yes, it caused mistakes in big games before, and Lamb’s miss last season brought it back to the spotlight. But instead of arguing, the HC is focused on managing what they can.
