ARLINGTON — Twenty people were arrested at Monday night’s Cowboys-Panthers game at Cowboys Stadium, almost half the number from last week’s game, Arlington police said Tuesday.

Fourteen arrests were on suspicion of public intoxication. One person was arrested on suspicion of burglary of a motor vehicle, among other charges, at the Walmart across the street from the stadium.

After fans briefly surged out of control at the inaugural regular-season game, the Cowboys agreed to limit the Party Pass crowds. No more than 10,000 of the standing-room-only tickets were sold for Monday’s game, compared with 30,000 the previous week.

Thirty-seven people were arrested at the first game, almost all on suspicion of public intoxication. — Staff report
