NFL analyst names one rebuild Jerry Jones doesn’t need after Ceedee Lamb's complaint about $1,300,000,000 stadium

CeeDee Lamb and Jerry Jones spent the entire offseason going through a negotiation for the wide receiver's services. Now, Lamb appears to be unhappy about the stadium he plays in following comments made in reaction to his endzone drop against the Eagles in Dallas' Week 10 contest.

NFL analyst Dominique Foxworth spoke about the situation with Lamb on the Nov. 12 edition of "Get Up" when asked to talk about something awkward over the weekend.

"CeeDee Lamb not being able to see the ball in the sun and the owner suggested that we just tear down the whole stadium now. No, let's close the blinds. Just close the blinds," he said.

"It's pretty awkward when your own stadium works against you. This is like the third time we've seen something like this happen, though. They've punt the ball into the Jumbotron, too. It's a damn mess."

Most stadiums are oriented North or South to keep the sun from hitting the eyes of the players. However, Jones' $1.3 billion monolith is oriented East-West, allowing for the sun to come through the sides and blind both teams on about half of their possessions.

Dallas is located in the southern United States, so the Cowboys' stadium usually continues to get sunlight more often than states located in the northern half of the country in the late fall and winter months.

AT&T Stadium, as with all NFL venues in the country, is an engineering marvel. However, the East-West oreintation resulting in sunlight coming into the stadium has long been a criticism of the venue.

Jerry Jones appeared to lose his patience in response to questions about the sun's impact on the venue. Here's what he said via NBC DFW.

“By the way, we know where the sun is going to be when we flip the coin, so we do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium. Let’s just tear the damn stadium down and build another one. Are you kidding me?”

The Cowboys played their first game in the stadium in 2009. By stadium standards, the building is still relatively new, and demolishing it to rebuild a north-south-orientated venue would likely cost just as much if not more than the original $1.3 billion price tag.
