ARLINGTON, Texas – A piece of metal fell from the roof of AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Monday before the game between the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans.

The large metal piece fell shortly after the stadium opened its roof.

No one was hit by the metal, but it did fall near several production people.

FOX 4’s Jeff Kolb saw what appeared to be another loose piece of metal in the roof area.

The Cowboys have not played a home game with the roof open since October 2022.

The roof of AT&T Stadium was closed shortly afterwards.

“We can confirm that a piece of metal came loose and fell onto the field (with some additional small debris) while the roof was in the process of opening. There were no injuries. “It is under further investigation and a decision will be made regarding the possibility of safely reopening the roof if possible,” a Cowboys spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said high winds were the cause.

The Cowboys take on the Texans on Monday Night Football.

The match starts at 7:15 PM
