A piece of the roof at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, fell onto the field before a game against the Houston Texans. The incident occurred while the roof was being opened, but no injuries were reported. Winds gusting to 30 mph are believed to have contributed to the roof failure. The retractable roof was closed again about an hour later. This was the first time the roof had been opened for a Cowboys game since the 2022 season. The stadium, which opened in 2009, has a unique east-west alignment. Previous incidents at the venue include injuries from falling ice and snow during the 2011 Super Bowl.
