The Dallas Cowboys are remembering longtime security guard turned AT&T Stadium art ambassador Phil Whitfield who died this week at the age of 62.
NBC 5 talked to Whitfield in 2014 about his part in the installation of works from 58 world-class artists at Jerry World in Arlington.
Whitfield was born a Cowboys fan and became a stadium security guard in the early 90s.

Phil Whitfield, art ambassador at AT&T Stadium, reflects on his passion for art in all 58 world-class contemporary pieces housed at the stadium.
