DALLAS - If Drew Pearson was coaching them, they certainly would.

Pearson said at Wednesday's ribbon-cutting ceremony at Cowboys Stadium that visiting teams will be at a disadvantage if they don't do a walkthrough at the 3 million-square foot venue.

The Cowboys host the Giants on Sept. 20 in the first regular season game at the stadium.

"I would recommend that all teams come in a day early to practice here and get a look at the stadium so they can get past the wow factor and the excitement of playing here so that when it comes time to play that will be behind them and they can concentrate on playing the game," the former Cowboys star receiver said. "Otherwise, if they step in here for the first time, they are going to be in awe and it's going to cause them to lose some focus on the game for sure. Advantage Cowboys."
