VT. Cowboys president Jerry Jones just sent shockwaves through the NFL by announcing that all Cowboys fans will get $5 off Thanksgiving night at AT&T Stadium and that famous Cowboys fan George Strait will perform for free in memory of Marshawn Kneeland, making this holiday game the most anticipated show of the year.
The NFL has never seen a more shocking moment during Thanksgiving week: NFL Commissioner Jerry Jones suddenly appeared at a press conference in Arlington and made an announcement that sent the entire country into a frenzy. He announced that all Dallas Cowboys fans would receive a $5 discount on admission to AT&T Stadium on Thanksgiving night, as a token of appreciation for the fans on the most special occasion of the season.
But the real earthquake came when Jerry Jones announced the second thing: country music legend and Cowboys fan George Strait would perform for free at the stadium, in an emotional tribute to Marshawn Kneeland – a young player who passed away too soon, leaving behind a legacy of grief in the hearts of fans and the entire team.
The entire stadium fell silent at that moment. George Strait – the Texas icon, the soul of country music – stood up and accepted the invitation with a deep, firm nod. He spoke of Kneeland as a Cowboys son: humble, strong, and a warrior at heart. The performance was held in the middle of AT&T Stadium, under Thanksgiving lights and in front of tens of thousands of people waiting for a historic moment.
The event immediately became the biggest conversation in the entire NFL: a football game, a night of celebration, and a memorial rolled into one. Fans called it a night that was loud, warm, and full of Texas spirit – where football is not just a sport, but part of the soul of the community.
Social media posts went viral: tickets sold out in hours, and the secondary ticket market exploded like never before. Everyone wanted to be there to witness the moment George Strait sang about Kneeland, right on the turf where the young player once ran like a lightning bolt.
This Thanksgiving, Jerry Jones said, is not just a holiday – it’s a promise that the Cowboys will always stand by their fans, always honor the people who have made their mark on the field, and always keep the Texas tradition alive.
And when the lights at AT&T Stadium came on and the Cowboys took the field, the audience knew they were about to witness an evening not just about football… but about memories, about music, about the love of an entire community for the team they worship.
