Rules and regulations are in place and you guy by them.

Fact is, he followed all NFL regulations and I don't forsee this being a big issue. The league also has to approve the stadium and its specifics, do they not? However you swing it, the league is absolutely responsible for the scoreboard being too low. Don't get me wrong, I hate the Cowboys as much as everyone else here. But I truly believe Jerry tried his best to make this stadium as nice as possible for his fans. A big HD jumbotron is part of that package.

Your analogy is backwards...a parallel one would be a city building code that says ceilings must be 7 feet high at a minimum and doorways must be 6.5 feet high. You're 6'7" and you STILL follow that regulation and put in 7-foot ceilings in your house...then are surprised when you're constantly cracking your skull and can't raise your arms up.

When dealing with regulations, you have to make sure the people and contents of the building can comfortably and safely inhabit it. This is where Jerry failed.
