I remember my first time in the new Dallas Cowboys stadium for 2 reasons. The first reason being that I was there less than 24 hours ago and the second and bigger reason being the 180 foot wide screen that sits above the field.
I drove up to Dallas early on Saturday morning to watch LSU beat Georgia in a last minute comeback.
Texas A&M was playing Arkansas in the Southwest Classic in what would turn out to be a blowout by Arkansas after A&M fell apart after the first 26 minutes of clock time.
As you can see from my iPhone snapshot here the video screen is very impressive. Even though I had heard and read lots about the size of this screen, it still very much shocked me with it’s size.
We had tickets in the club level 200 seats right at the goal line. When the ball was on our side of the field I found myself watching the field but as soon as the ball was beyond the 50 yard line and often beyond the near side 30 yard line, I found myself watching only the big screen.
The screen is great for replays and for seeing each down a little bit better if your seats are in the nose bleed. Stretching between the 20 yard lines, the screen measures 180 feet wide. Sitting at home and watching my 55” (diagonal measurement) flat screen HDTV, I feel like I now need an upgrade!
