Problem w/ Cowboys giant screen.

Think about how you treat your own HDTV at home and then multiply that by a couple million dollars.

We're going to trust the man who let his team practice in a tent in a tornado-prone area? I hope you're right though.

Speaking of th Colts new stadium posted above, I heard Mike Golic saying this morning that the Colts placed a steel beam at 90 feet and let the team practice under it. Then they let their punter, HUNTER SMITH, punt with it up there...he hit it the majority of the times, so they located the screens/scoreboard on the sides.

So you can't just blame the league for approving it...apparently all Jerry Jones needed to avoid this embarrassment is a little common sense that others in the league had. A little research or a single conversation with someone who just completed a nice stadium would've shown that it has been tested and will not work.
