ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys could have a permanent American flag inside their nearly $1.2 billion stadium as early as their annual Thanksgiving game.
Spokesman Brett Daniels said Wednesday that owner Jerry Jones heard the growing chorus of fans criticizing the team for not having a flag permanently displayed inside cavernous Cowboys Stadium.
The Cowboys used a giant flag the size of the field for the first regular-season game, and the huge video boards hanging over the field usually show the flag during the national anthem.
The issue became a hot topic when no flag was displayed before a high school playoff game two weekends ago.
Dallas plays Oakland on Thursday. The next home game is Dec. 13 against San Diego.
