New Cowboys Stadium to Have World's Largest Video Screen
When the Dallas Cowboys move into their new stadium for the 2009 season, fans will enjoy the action on the biggest high-definition screen in the world.
At nearly 160 feet long and just over 71 feet high, that's bigger than the "Godzillatron" at UT's DKR-Memorial Stadium, bigger than this one at a horse race track in Japan, and bigger than the one recently installed at Kansas City's Kaufmann Stadium.
To get a sense of how wide the new screen is, picture four city buses parked end-to-end. By comparison, a typical movie screen is 45 feet by 33 feet -- six of which could easily fit into the Cowboys' new display.
The cost of buying and installing the mega-monitors is more than $35 million -- more than it cost to build the Cowboys' present home of Texas Stadium in 1971.
