There will be a different feel inside AT&T Stadium for the Dallas Cowboys’ (3-6) Week 11 Monday Night Football matchup against the Houston Texans (6-4).

Per Jon Machota of The Athletic, the roof will be open for a Cowboys game for the first time in over two years. Machota posted video of the retractable roof opening hours before kickoff.

AT&T Stadium is one of five NFL stadiums with a retractable roof. Yet, it hasn’t been open for a Cowboys game since Oct. 30, 2022, a day game against the Chicago Bears (4-6). With Dallas riding a five-game losing streak at home, dating back to last year’s NFC Wild Card Round defeat to the Green Bay Packers (7-3), it feels like a good time to switch things up.

Numbers tell the story: Mixed results for Cowboys inside open AT&T Stadium

For what it’s worth, the Cowboys are 12-11 in their 16 years at AT&T Stadium when the roof and doors are open, Machota wrote last week. They are 50-32 when the building is completely closed.

“If you think it will help us win, I’m all for it,” head coach Mike McCarthy said this past Wednesday when asked about the possibility of opening up the roof and doors.

With the Cowboys playing on Monday Night Football, the sun won’t be an issue. The temperature is expected to be around 65 degrees at kickoff.
