The retractable roof is usually closed when the Dallas Cowboys play home games at their new stadium. Stephen Jones, the Cowboys' executive vice president, said in 2013 that sunlight can sometimes be a problem.

"One thing we've learned over the years...if you're sitting directly in the sun, it can get awfully warm for about half the stadium for our fans," Jones told KRLD-FM (105.3 The Fan) during a radio interview. "We've had complaints like that. Obviously our goal is to make it a great experience for everybody that goes out there.

"And for all the fans, no matter what side of the stadium you're on, when that roof's open and that sun's coming down, even though it might be 75-76 degrees and it seems nice, when you're in the direct sun, when you're in the hotter time of year … then it can make for an uncomfortable experience."

The last time the roof was opened was on December 19, 2015, when the Cowboys hosted the New York Jets.

Cowboys Stadium, the site of Super Bowl XLV in February 2011, was completed and officially opened to the public on May 27, 2009. Now known as AT&T Stadium, it hosted its first National Football League contest during the 2009 preseason. On August 21, 2009, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Tennessee Titans (once the Houston Oilers franchise), 30-10. The highlight of the game was when Titans punter A.J. Trapasso hit the 180-foot long, 90-foot high video board positioned above the football field.
