The disappointing trajectory of the Dallas Cowboys' season is evident, even within the confines of AT&T Stadium.

After starting the season with a 0-4 home record, experiencing issues with a lack of curtains to block the sunlight, and now facing another setback—a piece of metal has just become dislodged from the stadium's retractable roof system while it was being opened ahead of Dallas' Monday night matchup against the Houston Texans.

A planned open-roof experience for tonight’s game at AT&T Stadium which would have been a first since 2022, has been now altered due to the incident.

While no injuries were reported, the incident has prompted stadium officials to prioritize safety and close the roof.

The matter is currently under investigation and a decision regarding the reopening of the roof will be made.

Perhaps Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was right; maybe the team should "tear down the stadium and build a new one."
