The "horrifying" video was posted to social media by the MLFootball account. "The massive piece of sheet metal falling from the top of AT&T stadium was literally just a couple feet away from potentially killing multiple people by the field," the post read. Surely, if the sheet metal had hit a person it would likely not have ended well.

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported. Scary incident at AT&T Stadium before the Dallas Cowboys hosted the Houston Texans on Monday. A piece of sheet metal feel from the roof of the venue and landed, thankfully without injuring anyone.

The Dallas Cowboys were planning to play with the AT&T Stadium roof open for the first time since 2022, but a large piece of metal fell from the roof as it was being opened nearly three hours before kickoff against the Houston Texans on Monday night.
