When the AT&T American Cup takes place on March 7 inside AT&T Stadium, home to the Dallas Cowboys, it will be just the third time that a gymnastics competition has been held in a football arena. To celebrate on Wednesday, March 4, USA Gymnastics is asking fans and athletes to show us how you #WearYourMedal by posting photos to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter using the hashtag. Selected images will be shown on the center-hung video board during the pre-show entertainment leading to competition at the AT&T American Cup.
