Mike Tyson and Jake Paul will finally meet in the boxing ring inside AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, on Friday night.
The multibillion-dollar stadium has been in the news after Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had problems with sun glare during last week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The stadium is built with large glass windows, with end zones on the east and west. This layout often allows sunlight to shine directly on parts of the field during NFL games, which can cause visibility issues.

The stadium has curtains, but they are not used for Cowboys games. However, the curtains are rolled out regularly for concerts and other special events, such as Friday night boxing matches.

AT&T Stadium's verified X account shared a photo of the curtains being installed hours before the main event was scheduled to begin.
On Nov. 10, when quarterback Cooper Rush threw the ball to Lamb, Lamb missed the catch and blamed the glare.
Lamb told reporters he supports putting curtains on windows where the sun shines during games. However, team owner Jerry Jones didn't seem interested.

“We know where the sun is going to be in our stadium,” Jones said via ESPN.
When asked about the curtains, Jones replied, “Well, let's tear down the damn stadium and build another one? Are you kidding me?”
