The Dallas Cowboys, America’s Team, boast a massive and dedicated fanbase that travels far and wide to support their beloved team. When the Cowboys hit the road, like their season opener against the Browns in Cleveland, fans often wonder if all the familiar faces from AT&T Stadium make the trip. Specifically, Do The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Travel With The Team? Let’s dive into the details.
Generally, NFL cheerleaders, including the iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC), do not typically travel with the team to away games to perform. This is the standard practice for most NFL teams. The logistics of transporting and accommodating a large cheerleading squad, along with other performance-related staff, for every away game is a significant undertaking.
This image showcases the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders performing their iconic high kicks, demonstrating the energy and skill they bring to home games. It is an example of what fans miss at away games.
However, there are some notable exceptions to this rule. For major events like the Super Bowl and international games (overseas games), the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders often travel with the team to represent the organization and entertain fans on a larger stage. These special occasions warrant the extra effort and expense to bring the full Cowboys experience to a wider audience.
Therefore, while you can expect to see the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders at every home game, bringing their signature routines and spirit to the stadium, they generally stay behind when the team is on the road. Instead, the DCC often use their time during away games to participate in other events, appearances, and community engagements. Given the demanding schedule and commitment required to be a DCC member, this allows them to manage their time effectively and contribute to the organization in various ways.
So, if you’re attending a Dallas Cowboys away game, don’t expect to see the cheerleaders on the sidelines. While their presence is missed, especially for fans who enjoy the complete game-day experience, you’ll have to bring your own cheering spirit to the stands! Remember, if you’re in Cleveland, Ohio on Sunday, September 8, to see the Cowboys take on the Browns, prepare to cheer extra loud to make up for the absence of the DCC.
