For those fans in favor of roof open, should be here at Luca Oil. Know it's 3 hours before kickoff, but the roof is open as is the end zone doors, 38 degrees outside, and as Dak passed me on the field about 30 minutes ago, he goes, "close that roof." Supposed to b 55 by kickoff.

Bare patches in grass covered up witgh green kitty litter that they use in fairways to patched up divots. Rain early afternoon in forecast. Field is hard, grass is thin. Just like bermuda in the spring, which is the season here just starting erly week.

Hot and humid at Maracana today, 75 degrees with 86 percent humidity. At least the grass is green.

All good here in Rio. 10 hour flight, Cowboys heading to a workout in a little while. And here is a room with a view.

Preparing for huge pregame 9/11 remembrance
