The Dallas Cowboys have struggled to live up to their goals in recent seasons, winning just one playoff game in the past four seasons under head coach Mike McCarthy, but they’ve always had the support of their loyal fans. However, as one photograph from training camp illustrates, it looks like the team might be losing support from their fanbase.
This week, Mike Leslie of WFAA posted a photo of the bleachers at Dallas Cowboys training camp and the number of Cowboys fans in attendance at the practice was embarrassingly small compared to previous seasons.
“Cowboys fans are out on this franchise more than I can ever remember. The attendance so far at camp is WAY down,” Leslie said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

Obviously, this is a pretty awful sign for the Cowboys as it shows a lack of interest and excitement from the fanbase, and the photo led to a lot of reactions on social media as it quickly went viral.
This tweet is starting to pop off and make the rounds.
It'll probably become a national talking point, too.
Kudos to Mike for sharing it and drawing attention.
Hopefully that wakes the front office up. https://t.co/b8Yyq17cBO

It sounds silly, but this really will probably bother the Cowboys on some level.
This is the *first padded practice* and therefore a big deal. Kind of a ceremonial thing.
Nobody being there is… something. https://t.co/foAsxlkgll

But the Jones boys were VERY QUICK to tell you how fast tickets were renewed https://t.co/rJOyaNnGtx

Clearly, the fans are not as excited about this year’s team as they have been in the past. We’ll have to see if the team can help bring the excitement back.
