Now the people at the stadium will enjoy watching the Cowboys choke in December just like the people at home.

As a Cowboys fan, I agree with you.

As a Cowboys fan of the Jimmy Johnson days and the times prior to that, I also agree. :)

:( Unfortunately, this is so true.

Is it my imagination, or were they showing stretch-o-vision on their new bijilion-dollar screen!?!?
AutumnBringer @ May 8th 2009 2:41PM
I'm wondering the same. I'm no HDTV guru, but 1920x1080 is not the same proportion as 159x72. I would think that means they'll either have vertical black bars or they'll be stretching the image to fit. Unless there's some magic in the math somewhere that makes it work (?)

Nah. Defensive ends are a bit "wide" in real life!
sweet greggo @ May 12th 2009 1:45PM
Most likely the extra space will be taken up with ads, in game stats, etc.
I work down the street from the new stadium. You can't appreciate the sheer massiveness of the damn thing until you see it in person.

Next Super Bowl should be interesting, they should able to show super bowl ad in that big screen.

"Once we've confirmed the stadium isn't built by the same guys that put together the team's practice bubble, we'll be making plans to head down and catch a game."
I lol'd

It is in fact the same company.

If you could imagine some crazy introduction with flashes, machine guns, and explosions. Some Seizure inducing goodness....
James @ May 9th 2009 3:23AM

and pffft cowboys.
Thunderbuck @ May 11th 2009 1:58PM
So now we can go down to the stadium to...
...watch tv? WTF?
Lee @ May 14th 2009 11:12AM
Well, in a tv show about the stadium they said they wanted to compete with HDTV at home as many people say they would rather watch tv at home than sit in bad seats in an arena. So, they sized the screen to replicate the veiw of a 50 inch from 10-12 feet away.

How big is it compared to the one in the new Yankee Stadium?
chihawk @ May 18th 2009 8:20AM
Is it just me, or is that thing hanging a little low....no punting allowed in the new cowboy stadium.
Paul @ May 26th 2009 1:19AM
That's what I've been thinking too. 90 feet from the ground seems like prime punt-blocking height.
