It's bigger in Texas

So...the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium has a HUGE video screen in the middle of the field. I guess it has the world's largest high-definition screens at 60 yards wide and 25 yards high. That's a lot of TV!


BUT....I guess a punter can easily hit it even during practice where they aren't fully warmed up. During the pre-season game against, the Tennessee Titans had to re-do a punt because it hit the score board. I'm sure they didn't plan it that way in the stadium that cost $1.15 BILLION. (That makes Safeco Field and Qwest Field seem like a bargain at $512.6 million and $430 million respectively. I don't know what all the liberals in Seattle are complaining about. Professional sports isn't cheap....look how the Sonics were allowed to leave. That is still a very sore spot for me.) It's a gorgeous building and it's just kind of humorous that this is the first "big" news that comes out of the facility.

I've never been to Texas outside of a layover in the airport but I guess it is true that everything is bigger in Texas.
