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!

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.
