### Travis Kelce Criticizes AT&T Stadium’s Sun Glare

The design of AT&T Stadium, built by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, was intended to have the setting sun provide captivating visuals during games. However, it has also resulted in an ongoing issue for the players: the glaring sunlight. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently highlighted this problem on the New Heights podcast.

"Playing in that stadium, I’ve had that problem before," Kelce commented. "The glare coming through that end zone in the afternoon is absolutely ridiculous. It’s like the glass makes it spread more. The sun feels bigger and brighter than it’s ever been. You try not to let those things be an excuse, but it’s hard not to notice."

Former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett also discussed the sun-related challenges at AT&T Stadium during a recent episode of PFT Live. Garrett acknowledged the difficulty for players but implied that the situation is unlikely to change.

Despite complaints from players and coaches alike, Jerry Jones remains resolute. He built the stadium with a vision for unique game visuals, and he seems determined to maintain that, even if it means enduring a sun glare issue that no other current stadium faces.
