Travis Kelce slammed the Dallas Cowboys for a monumental problem when they host games at AT&T Stadium.
The home of the Cowboys has been infamous for ‘Curtain-gate’, a none-football-related issue where the sun beams through a window in the stadium and affects players’ vision on one end zone.
On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, the Chiefs star and brother Jason Kelce flamed the Cowboys over the architectural flaw.
‘Jerry Jones is still at war with the sun,’ Travis said. ‘I’m not gonna’ lie, playing in that stadium, I f***ing problem before.’
‘That f***ing glare coming through the end zone in the afternoon is f***ing ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, he added. ‘It’s like the glass makes it f***ing spread more. It’s like the sun is bigger and brighter than it’s ever f–king been.’

The glaring issue came to light over the weekend during the Cowboys’ 6-34 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jason’s former team.
Dallas quarterback Cooper Rush saw receiver CeeDee Lamb in the end zone and threw what would have been a touchdown pass. However, due to the glare, Lamb failed to see his teammate or the ball and ran past the pigskin as it hit the turf.
‘I mean, I get it, you try not to let those things be an excuse, but holy s*** man,’ Kelce continued. ‘I understand where [Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb is] coming from here.’
After the game, Lamb told reporters he was ‘one thousand percent’ in favor of raising the curtains at AT&T to avoid the issue.
However, team owner Jerry Jones brushed off notions of adding to his $1.2billion investment.
‘Well, let’s just tear the damn stadium down and build another one? You kidding me?’ Jones quipped, claiming curtain-gate was advantageous for Dallas.
‘Every team that comes in here has the same issues, they know where the sun’s going to be,’ Jones added. ‘We do know where the damn sun’s going to be at our own stadium.’
Jason, who for 13 years had Dallas as his divisional rival, chimed in with his experiences at AT&T.
‘It’s crazy how aggressive the sun is at that time of the day coming through that window,’ Jason said. ‘You’d think they’d put up shades or something, but alas.’
