Carolyn Price, one of the most iconic and beloved Dallas superfans, has passed away at the age of 83. Known affectionately as “Mrs. Cowboy,” Price was a fixture at AT&T Stadium and a recognizable face in the Cowboys Nation community for decades. Her family confirmed the news on Monday, February 10, 2026, though specific details about the cause of death have not been released.
Price attended nearly every home game at Texas Stadium and later AT&T Stadium since the early 1970s, often sitting in her signature Section 101 seats. She became a cultural staple through her enthusiastic cheering, signature outfits (including custom Cowboys gear and cowboy hats), and frequent appearances on local broadcasts, team highlights, and fan videos. Cowboys players, coaches, and broadcasters regularly acknowledged her presence, with many calling her the “unofficial mayor” of the Cowboys fan section.

The Dallas Cowboys organization released a statement honoring Price:
“Carolyn Price was the heart and soul of Cowboys Nation. Her unwavering passion, joyful spirit, and lifelong dedication to our team touched everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy as the ultimate fan lives on forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.”
Local Dallas media and fans flooded social media with memories, photos, and videos of Price celebrating touchdowns, singing the fight song, and interacting with players after games. She was often seen high-fiving fans and posing for photos, embodying the spirit of Cowboys fandom.
A Lifelong Cowboys Legacy
Price was born in Dallas and became a fan during the team’s early glory years in the 1960s and 1970s under Tom Landry. She witnessed all five Super Bowl victories (VI, XII, XXVII, XXVIII, XXX) and remained a season-ticket holder through multiple stadium moves and coaching eras.
Her passing comes during a transitional offseason for the Cowboys, who are coming off a 2025 season that ended in the Divisional Round. The team is expected to honor her memory at upcoming events, possibly with a moment of silence or tribute at the 2026 home opener.
Carolyn Price’s death is a poignant reminder of the deep, generational bond between the Dallas Cowboys and their fans. She will forever be remembered as the face of unwavering loyalty in Cowboys Nation.
Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and the entire Cowboys community during this time of loss. Rest in peace, Mrs. Cowboy.
