Justin and Tim Sehon love the Dallas Cowboys so much, they got married wearing blue and white.
Their house, just a few miles from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, is a shrine to the team. ESPN featured them.
The Sehons鈥� fandom is so strong, even a pandemic won鈥檛 stop them from going to games. They鈥檒l be at the Cowboys鈥� first home game of the season on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
鈥淎s much as we love the Cowboys? I gotta be a part of it,鈥� Tim said.
鈥淢ask on,鈥� Justin said.
Of course, they already have team-branded face masks.
The Cowboys are one of the few NFL teams allowing spectators as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on. Head coach Mike McCarthy has said for Sunday鈥檚 game, when the team has a chance to notch its first win of the season after losing to the Los Angeles Rams earlier this week.
, other teams have decided to play without fans for the first few games. Others will play to empty stadiums indefinitely.
That leaves Cowboys fans with a choice. Should they go to games or not?
Tim Sehon said he feels pretty safe going to Sunday鈥檚 game, but there won鈥檛 be the social aspect he and Justin enjoy so much.
For the Sehons, game day often starts early in the morning with tailgating and ends with more tailgating, or a postgame hangout at .
鈥淭hat is where I see the biggest change, because we鈥檙e not gonna be able to interact with the people we call Cowboy Family as much as we want to,鈥� Tim said.
Justin said he鈥檚 a bit worried about going to the game in person, but he plans to wash his hands as much as possible and sanitize the area around him.
Other fans don鈥檛 feel ready to return to AT&T Stadium just yet.
Bala Krishnan lives in Plano and has been a Cowboys fan since he moved from India to North Texas in the late '90s. He said he won鈥檛 be at any large gatherings until there鈥檚 a COVID-19 vaccine.
鈥淭his is an extraordinary year with a lot of issues, especially with a pandemic,鈥� he said. 鈥淵eah, I would like to go, but I鈥檓 OK watching the game on TV.鈥�
Cyndi Garza of Grand Prairie feels the same way. She鈥檚 a Cowboys season ticket holder, and her dog is named after the team鈥檚 quarterback, Dak Prescott.
Still, she said she鈥檚 not going to games any time soon.
"Personally, I don't think that the risk of going to games and being in crowds that size is a good idea,鈥� she said. 鈥淎nd I don鈥檛 really think it鈥檚 a good idea for them to be playing the games either, for their health.鈥�
Garza said her season ticket seats are in the nosebleeds, anyway 鈥� so the TV will offer a better view.
