Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has done a lot for the team ever since taking over as the owner in 1989. Acquiring for a sum of $150 million back then, it is now one of the richest sports franchises in the world with a net worth of $8 billion. He even built a new stadium for the franchise, which became famously dubbed the ‘Jerry World.’ The AT&T stadium not only hosts the Cowboys and their games in the NFL but also other major events.
He also developed the Ford Center, a multi-purpose 12,000-seat indoor stadium that is also used by the team for operations and as a practice field. And recently, the facility has been shut down for two weeks to celebrate a glorious event for the people in Texas. An event that is close to their heart apart from their support for the Cowboys. The event even saw many players of the Dallas Cowboys come up in numbers to grace it with their presence.

Not only did the best country musicians come together for the event but also players for the Dallas Cowboys graced the red carpet of the event. Country music is a big part of the Texas lifestyle. And the event saw the likes of Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks host the event live from the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas. Musicians like Lainey Wilson and Chris Stapleton went home bagging various awards on the night.
But the ACM Music Awards also saw Cowboys players take off their helmets and put on their best suits as presenters during the event.
