Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones Issues Punishment for Cowboys and Packers Fans After Violent Brawl in Stands

Arlington, Texas – October 3, 2025 –
The thrilling Dallas Cowboys Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers was overshadowed by a disturbing scene in the stands. A video that went viral on social media Monday morning showed Cowboys and Packers fans throwing violent punches during the “Sunday Night Football” game at AT&T Stadium. The incident left at least one person injured before security personnel intervened, sparking outrage in the NFL community and raising questions about stadium safety.

Response from Jerry Jones

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones responded swiftly, announcing disciplinary measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. He stated:

“Everyone at AT&T Stadium deserves respect and protection. This is a place where families, children, and fans from all over come to enjoy football. I will never tolerate violence ruining this atmosphere. We take pride in the game-day experience, and anyone who crosses the line will be held accountable.”

Disciplinary Measures

According to team representatives, all individuals involved in the brawl have been banned indefinitely from AT&T Stadium and all Cowboys-related events. Security camera footage has been shared with the Arlington police, who confirmed that arrests may follow. Jones also directed the organization to:

• Increase security patrols in crowded stands and concession areas.

Context of the Incident

The incident occurred during a dramatic game that ended in a 40-40 tie — the NFL’s first tie since 2022. While the highly anticipated return of Micah Parsons in Dallas dominated headlines before the game, the brawl video quickly became a hot topic on TikTok and X (Twitter). Many NFL analysts warned that violent images in the stands could tarnish the league’s reputation, especially as fans increasingly prioritize safety concerns.

Jerry Jones’ Affirmation

Despite the incident, Jones emphasized his faith in Cowboys fans:

“The vast majority of our fans are passionate, respectful, and represent the silver star with pride. But when a few individuals cross the line, it affects everyone. We will hold them accountable and ensure AT&T remains a safe, family-friendly place to enjoy football.”

The Future at AT&T Stadium

The Cowboys’ next home game will be the first test for these new measures. With heightened oversight, Jones hopes headlines will return to focusing on what happens on the field — not in the stands.
