Okay, so I 'm watching my Dallas Cowboys Football game. They're playing in their new Texas Stadium. The half time show the announcers state that they have a 40 MILLION DOLLOR HDTV Jumbo screen over their playing field. The largest in the world. So big, the Kicker kicked the ball up and it hit the Screen/Scoreboard because it hangs so low from it's size. Sheesh! Only in Texas! I guess it's so we can see thier Cheerleaders better. :w00t: :w00t: :-D

hahah the stadium is so big that anyone in the nose bleeds most likely needs a oxygen tank beacause the air would be so thin up there.

It had to be a Mitsubishi didn't it? They've been making the biggest screen (projection) TV's for many years now...

If that ball hitting the screen problem continues to pop up every now and then, they're gonna have to remove that screen. :yes:

Nope. The screen stays. The NFL wil treat interferences as a do over. Now, If it gets BROKE...well Jerry Jones won't go broke for a long time coming so it won't matter. I guess you could look at it sorta like the "Big Green Monster". :-D

Anyway... "HOW BOUT' THEM COWBOYS"!!!!

Yes I am a big Cowboys fan!!! :-D

They are all I know. Being born in Lawton OK, that was the team to watch, and the team to beat. America's Team! (Everyone hated them for that, even Yankees fans.) So what if Pittsburgh beat us twice in Super Bowls? Didn't matter. Terry Bradshaw doing bad acting alongside Burt Reynolds didn't help either! (Though I still dig Smokey & The Bandit I & II) And besides, North Dallas Forty was inspired by the Cowboys! (And of course, the "Debbie Does Dallas" series... ;-) :lol: :lol: :lol: )

And to this day..still...AMERICAS TEAM!!! (Even the Braves tried...Ted Turner was really reaching there... :lol: :lol: :lol: )

And does anyone have better looking cheerleaders...not no...but HELL NO!!!! :nonono: :lol:

BIG COWBOY FAN HERE ALSO!! GO COWBOYS!!!

screen info:
A highlight of Cowboys Stadium is its gigantic center-hung high-definition television screen, the largest in the world. The 160 by 72 feet (49 m × 22 m), 11,520-square-foot (1,070 m2) scoreboard surpasses the 8,736 sq ft (812 m2) screen that opened in 2009 at the renovated Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri as the world's largest.[47][48][49]

The screens were developed by Mitsubishi's Diamond Vision Systems. Each center-hung sideline display consists of 10,584,064 LEDs, consuming some 635,000 Watts.[50] Because each pixel consists of four LEDs (2 red, 1 green, 1 blue), the 2,176 X 4,864 LED distribution corresponds to a 1,088 X 2,432 pixel resolution, the equivalent of 1080p. However the image can actually be considerably sharper than the resolution suggests, because Diamond Vision's "Dynamic Pixel" technology allows the corner LEDs of four neighboring pixel clusters to function as a pixel cluster together, providing virtual pixels between each physical pixel.[51]

At the debut game of Cowboys Stadium, a punt by Tennessee Titans punter A.J. Trapasso hit the 2,100 in. screen above the field. The punt deflected backwards and was ruled in-play until Titans coach Jeff Fisher informed the officials that the punt struck the scoreboard. By rule, the down was replayed. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones believes that Trapasso was trying to hit the scoreboard because he said, "If you look at how you punt the football, unless you're trying to hit the scoreboard, you punt the ball to get downfield. You certainly want to get some hangtime, but you punt the ball to get downfield, and you sure don't punt the ball down the middle. You punt it off to the side.
