The luster of the Dallas Cowboys may be growing dull.

The stadium that seats over 90,000 was less than half full at kickoff Thursday night at AT&T Stadium. Rally towels laid on the back of seats throughout the stadium stood out starkly.

Just before kickoff much of AT&T Stadium was empty as Cowboys fans were either late to arrive or decided to skip the game against the Redskins Thursday night in Arlington.

Perhaps some fans were stuck in evening traffic trying to make the 7:25 p.m. start.

Or maybe the Cowboys’ three-game losing streak is starting to affect attendance.

Standing-room only tickets that typically sell for $25 were going for $6 on reseller stubhub.com. Upper deck seats were selling for as low as $20.
