An employee at AT&T Stadium was arrested after Arlington police accused him of letting in fans without tickets during the Dallas Cowboys home game on Sunday.
The Cowboys were set to face off against NFC East rivals the Philadelphia Eagles at the team's stadium in Arlington, Texas, where attendance has averaged 93,574 all season, according to ESPN. But Sunday's attendance may have been a little higher than usual, and not just because two of the NFL's best teams were going head-to-head in a nationally-televised primetime game.
According to Arlington police, a detective working at the stadium became aware that a contracted employee at one of the entry gates had let a group of people into the stadium who did not have tickets in exchange for cash. The employee's job was to scan fans’ tickets after they passed through the security checkpoint.
When the detective questioned the employee, he admitted to pocketing the cash, according to the Arlington Police Department. The 19-year-old was arrested and charged with one count of commercial bribery, police said.
Police did not specify how many fans the teen is suspected of letting in.
The Cowboys defeated the Eagles 33-13, leaving both teams with a 10-3 record with four weeks remaining in the regular season.
