Watch: Cowboys, Niners fans stampede into stadium for standing-room section
For a typical game, the Dallas Cowboys’ home at AT&T Stadium can hold around 80,000 people. But for big games, the capacity can expand to 100,000 with its extensive standing-room-only area.
Sunday’s NFC wild-card matchup between the Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers seemed to qualify as one of those “big games because, let me tell ya, the scene at the standing-room-only entrance was intense.
About two hours before the playoff game’s scheduled kickoff, doors at AT&T Stadium were opened, which set off an actual stampede for the best standing-room views. No part of this video seemed like an enjoyable experience.
I get that it’s cool to take in the environment of a playoff game, and people just like to be in the building. But at some point, watching from home seems like the better option. Assuming you make it through the stampede unscathed, you’re committing to a solid six hours of standing in the same spot.
That doesn’t sound fun at all.
