Cowboys to flip switch on world's largest video screen

The following was released this afternoon by the Dallas Cowboys - The event is not open to the public:

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones will switch on the world's largest 1080p HDTV video board for the first time at Cowboys Stadium (1:30 p.m., Thursday, May 21, 2009).

Weighing 600 tons, the screens will be suspended 90 feet directly over the center of the playing surface and stretch from nearly one 20-yard line to the other. The four-sided, center-hung structure, a first for an NFL stadium, consists of four Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision™ video displays.

The innovative technology will give every fan a great seat and the view is better than watching a 60 inch HDTV in your living room. Fans will be able to see the players as if they were standing on the sidelines creating a living, interactive aspect to the building.

To bad I cant afford to give up my daughters college fund to be able to watch the Cowboys play in a one of a kind stadium. Maybe in my next lifetime I'll be born into enough wealth to be able to watch a live football game.

Ron,

Maybe in your next lifetime, you'll work harder to be able to afford it. (Instead of spending your time typing worthless messages)

- Your Initiative

Can't we all just get along here? Please.

I thought these messages were to be a review of the content of the articles. Not personal attacks on peoples opinions.

I make enough money to go see one of these games, but will not. Time for Jerry to retire!

Jerry has a 70,000 sf. suite in Jerry Dome.
I think we should all pony up thousands of
dollars to honor him. Hail to Jerry!
My life is now complete!!!

Jerry said:

wilback:
Buy the Dallas Cowboys and you can have the suite.

Sincerely,
Jerry Jones

Go Steelers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wilback said:

Now that was funny!!!! I don't care who you
are....that is FUNNY!!!!
Well done.

Ron said:

I was wondering if 90ft above the playing surface is HIGH enough to avoid HIGH punts from actually hitting it? Just curious.

Aaron Chimbel Author Profile Page said:

Jerry Jones says it's high enough so no punts will hit it... maybe if Mat McBriar really gets into one it'll be close.

wilback said:

Knowing Jerry's history of failures......uh....
would you want to stand underneath that thing?
