Hundreds of fans were bundled up in Cowboys colors outside AT&T Stadium before a 3:25 p.m. kickoff versus Arizona.
Gary Smiley was grilling a variety of meats in the parking lot across the street from the stadium.

Daniel Grothe brought his three kids to their first Cowboys game all the way from Colorado Springs.
