Fans want permanent flag inside Cowboys Stadium

ARLINGTON — Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is facing a growing chorus from fans wanting a permanent U.S. flag displayed inside his nearly $1.2 billion stadium.

They aren't satisfied by the stars and stripes covering the entire field, as was the case before the first regular-season game at cavernous Cowboys Stadium in September.

Nor is it enough to have the flag waving on 25,000 square feet of video boards at the new venue in Arlington.

Fans are buzzing with frustration, from political radio talk shows to newspaper letters to the editor.

Jones says it's a logistical issue because the stadium is so big. He also says the giant video board limits the team's ability to display banners anywhere in the stadium.

The Cowboys on Thanksgiving will host Oakland.
