The team's training camp in Oxnard, CA, may be far from Fort Worth, but the impact of their season will be felt locally, particularly among fans who pack AT&T Stadium on game days. As the Cowboys look to improve on their 7-win season, fans in Tarrant County will be watching closely to see if the team can regain its footing and make a deeper playoff run. With the Cultural District and Sundance Square often buzzing with activity on game days, a successful Cowboys season could bring a boost to local businesses and morale.
