Preseason

During the off season, War Memorial Stadium was upgraded with new railings installed in certain areas as well as more handicap accessible. [1]

The big concern coming into Spring Training was the lack of depth on defense, a young and inexperienced offensive line and a poor running game. 13 Starters and 38 lettermen returned. [2]

Fall practice began on August 11, 2004. [3] The Cowboys participated in two inter squad scrimmages. The first one was held August 21 and the second one was 5 days later on the 26th. [4]
