Jerry Jones, owner of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, has encouraged his architects to make the new Texas Stadium a bigger, better facility.
The new facility still has the rectangular hole in the roof, although it can be covered by a set of sliding doors. The wind makes a fierce howl as it whips through the construction site. In this YouTube video, the howl is audible over the freeway noise.
Beneath the hole is a set of 4 HDTV monitors that are suspended 110 feet over the football field:
The board will run from the 20-yard line to the 20-yard line — measuring 180 feet in length and 50 feet in height - making it the largest video board installation in the world.
There’s more information in this article from the Dallas Morning News, including a graphic that compares the board to city buses (Stack 4 large city buses. Repeat 6 times!), as well as the stadium’s web site.
