Dallas Cowboys' over-field TV stops play

Dallas Cowboys screen.jpg
This one caught my eye over the weekend - the super-huge television screen hanging over the field of play at Dallas Cowboys' American Football stadium. With the stadium being so large, the high-def screen is intended to give the crowds up in the gods a detailed view of the action.

Not only is it very, very big, but it is low enough to have now interefered with the play, when a punted ball hit the screen during a game.

I noticed Chelsea playing there, pre-season, and thought the screen was low, and lo, it seems it is.

Measuring 72-feet high and 160-feet long, the $40 million, four-sided structure is said to be the biggest of its kind in the world, as you would kinda expect for a Texan TV.

You go to the game and still watch it on TV, sort of.

I must admit, my other thought on first seeing that screen hanging overhead the players was, God forbid, what if it came down?
