The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has incurred massive changes to the NFL in the upcoming season. One of those will be the absence of fans in the stadiums. However, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remains adamant and insists that his team will continue to host their fans come their first home game in 2020.

The move was not a surprise for a club that topped the list of Forbes' most valuable sports teams of 2020. The franchise is reportedly valued at a whopping $150 million valuation. Jones is not willing to let a season pass without generating revenue and will be looking to milk the cash cow in the upcoming season.
However, the brave fans who are looking to attend the Cowboys' home games will certainly be in for a treat. A dangerous offense is looking to brew with the recent acquisition of rookie speedster CeeDee Lamb in the 2020 NFL Draft. Tagging along with him are the veteran holdovers in Michael Gallup, Amari Cooper, and Ezekiel Elliot with Dak Prescott playing under center.
The defensive line is no pushover too, being headlined by defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and safety Xavier Woods under the tutelage of first-year defensive coordinator Mike Nolan.
Newly-acquired head coach Mike McCarthy will attempt to bring the team back to the playoffs after a one-year absence. A bigger goal is also expected for the veteran tactician as he aims to hoist another Lombardi for the first time since the Cowboys' Super Bowl XXX win in 1996. The eyes of the football world will all be set on the team as a lot is definitely laid on the line in the upcoming season.
