ARLINGTON - There are two weeks left before the world gets a glimpse of the new Cowboys stadium.Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has spared no expense on the facility that has cost more than $1 billion. The stadium's shining star is the world's largest HDTV screen.

The screen is actually visible from one end of the zone video boards to Collins Street. It took a year to build and four months to install.

With 30 million light bulbs and a cost of $40 million, the 600-ton Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision System display hangs 90-feet directly over the center of the new Dallas Cowboys football field. ...More @ DallasNews.com (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/cowboysstadium/stories/wfaa090521_mo_cowboys.3223683.html)

I'm assuming the ball does not get up to 90 feet when kicked or someone might be really bummed one day. :lol:

Then it would be easy to fix - just replace damaged bulb(s). It's not like hitting your plasma or LCD large screen HDTV at home. :)

Um, this is really nothing. The main reason for the cost is stadium monitors are made to be water resistant, even in domes.

When you talking water resistant outside displays, a tiny 100" thing businessess use would cost over $100,000 to put up.

If any of you need a nice bathroom tv, or tv for the porch, here is a 23" at a good price: $1945:

It's funny to read the california ban on HD TV's and then read this. Good thing it's in Texas.
