The NFL has not instituted a league-wide attendance policy in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic that still plagues the nation. As a result, 23 teams will not have fans in the stadium for at least the season opener this year. The are not one of them. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed he was given the go Antonio Callaway Jersey -ahead by Texas Governor Greg Abbott to have fans at Cowboys Stadium for the season opener and beyond. How many fans the Cowboys will have for their home opener against the is still to be determined.Some believe the lack of a universal attendance policy acro s the league creates home-field advantages for teams whose states are allowing attendance this season. Jones doesn't see an i sue with some teams being granted permi sion to have fans while others won't have them for their home opener (at the very least). Perhaps not coincidentally, the Cowboys are the only team in the NFC East that will allow fans in their home stadium in 2020."Absolutely (it's fair). The benefit of crowds are important to sports," Jones said Tuesday, . "On the other hand, is it po sible to have great games without it. But it's fair. We've made up our minds this thing isn't going to be one way or another. Chad Thomas Jersey  Surely, about evening up everything that could be competitive, you've got to have to adapt to the virus. Attendance being one of them."To the end that we can get fans enjoying these games with an experience similar to the thing they' Greedy Williams Jersey ve come accustomed (to) is a big step in the right direction."As of Tuesday afternoon, Texas has the third-most coronavirus cases in the United States at 580,384 and its 37,434 cases over the last seven days are second-most in the country ( ). The 2,022 case rate per 100,000 for the state of Texas is the 11th-highest in the United States.  The lack of a league-wide attendance policy , as the other profe sional sports leagues have followed this practice. Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer are playing games at home stadiums with no fans in attendance, while the National Basketball A sociation and National Hockey League are playing their postseasons in a bubble/hub city. "We control what we can control. I think it's honestly ridiculous that there will be ... what appears to be  Kendall Lamm Jersey a playing field that is like that," McDermott said. "Inconsistently acro s the league with the different away stadiums. We control what we can control. That's gotta be our mindset and that's how we attack it."Until the adopts an attendance policy, that' Chris Hubbard Jersey s all teams can do. Some franchises will have fans at games while others won't have any at all. The Cowboys want to be at the forefront of bringing fans back to the stadium, whether it's risky or not.  "We all know the importance of leading the way," Jones said. "We have the ability to lead the way to a more normal type of activity whether it be economic or whether it be social. This is a great opportunity to do that in a very safe way. We're very unique in our stadium relative to just space and we're going to take advantage of it."
