The Steelers play on a field named after a ketchup brand...I think we are fine. Besides...those new ATT commercials with the kids are great. Looking forward to one featuring Stephen and Charlotte.

If they can get the retarded Ginger Grandson on one, it would be amazing.

Do the Packers reject capitalism for sticking with Lambeau Field? Not everything has to be for sale.

And Texas Stadium kept it's name, too. I'm sure if the Packers ever get a new stadium, you'll see the corporate sponsorship come in.

Lots more reasons to bitch at Jerry. No point in inventing one.

The thing that irks people the most is the renaming of "Cowboys stadium". If it had started with AT&T stadium, I'm sure there wouldn't even be a thread for it.

I don't really give a shit but it was kinda cool to be the only team with the stadium named after it.
 
I'm more worried about the complete lack of OL/DL. AT&T can call Jerry World whatever it wants to. There's nothing stopping the fan base from just calling the place Cowboys stadium if it wants to.

Frankly, I'm surprised Jerry didn't invent this novel idea.
 
WGAS? Jerry would sell his children if he felt that the return was reasonable enough. I couldn't care less what he does with the naming of the stadium, especially now that we can be assured that he won't be naming it after himself.

I'd be really interested to see him sell his children, I don't know what Stephen would fetch on the open market, but it would mean the franchise would end up in better hands.

Sold as a sex slave? There has to be a dirty bath house with a nitch market for his type somewhere.

Now the daughter? She could definitely get a premium...

I wonder how Jerry would handle some kind of Taken scenario. I picture him sending Dave Campo and Larry Lacewell to find the kidnappers, after 3 years of looking they give up and are demoted back to the front office.
 
They recently rescued an Orangutan that was used as a sex slave in Thailand, so maybe we can send Charlotte there.
 
I guess my only qualm is that there's a lack of originality in the name.

AT&T Stadium - Dallas Cowboys

AT&T Park - San Francisco Giants

AT&T Center - San Antonio Spurs


At least the'yre in different sports unlike American Airlines Center (Dallas Mavericks) and America Airlines Arena (Miami Heat).

The Talkin' Cowboys crew brought up a good point regarding the reason that the stadium is just AT&T Stadium. They said if they called it something like AT&T Cowboys Stadium, people, particularly the media, would still refer to it as Cowboy stadium. Therefore, somewhat dimishing AT&T's investment.

I can see that being the case.

Stephen Jones: Expanded relationship with AT&T will allow Cowboys to make stadium even better



The Cowboys understand the debate created by the name change from Cowboys Stadium to AT&T Stadium, but it was at their insistence -- not the Dallas-based telecommunications company -- that Cowboys not be part of the new name.

"That was our decision all the way," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Friday. "It was not anything we considered. We wanted it to be AT&T Stadium, and in no way were they the ones leading the charge that there be no Cowboys in the name. We just felt like AT&T Stadium says a lot, and it’s important for us for it say a lot to our fans that we’re committed to being best in class when it comes to connectivity and technology."

Jones said having AT&T as the stadium's namesake will allow the Cowboys to continue to compete for fans' living rooms. The Cowboys drew a league-best 735,278 last season, an average of 91,910, in the NFL's biggest stadium. But the NFL has increasingly become a made-for-TV game, and the Cowboys believe their expanded relationship with AT&T will allow them to be innovative. The were the first team to show live shots of players in their locker room on the stadium's video board, a requirement of the NFL beginning this season.

They could expand that to show a portion of the head coach's halftime speech or somehow present a player's perspective from the game.

"We have to get people to our venues, and obviously our fans have enjoyed coming," Jones said. "That hasn’t been our problem -- getting them there. But we certainly don’t want to take that for granted. We’re going to have to be innovative. That’s why this was such an important partnership to us. It was more than just the money, at the end of the day, to us. Obviously, that’s important when you’re dealing with these stadiums and what you have to do to have the type of teams that our fans expect and we certainly have to be accountable to. We’re going to have to be innovative, and they want us to be. We certainly want to hold each other to a high standard, AT&T Stadium to a high standard, and we’ll certainly be making the investments that we need to make along with AT&T to make AT&T Stadium best in class."

Cowboys Stadium opened to rave reviews in 2009, and aside from the seating glitch at Super Bowl XLV, it has received glowing compliments throughout its short history. The Cowboys believe the expanded relationship with AT&T will make the stadium even better.

If he would let someone else run the football team, I would be a pretty big Jerry fan.
 
Surprised they insisted on removing the "Cowboys" from the stadium name. I felt like it really helped build the brand.

They must have also "insisted" on a higher fee from AT&T.
