Now, it's no secret that a guy who grew up in Wisconsin is no fan of the Dallas Cowboys. However, I'm sitting here watching Sunday Night Football, which is being played at the new stadium in Dallas, and I gotta give them credit for that massive display they have hanging over the middle of the field.

For those of you who aren't aware, the Dallas Cowboys just finished their new stadium, and part of that included a 72'x160' screen. Diagonally, that's well over 2000". I don't know about you, but I'll never look at the 32" screen in my living room the same ever again. What I find particularly remarkable about it is that it can display 1080p resolution. I decided that, for my own curiosity, I needed to whip up a scale drawing to see just how large this thing is and how comparatively small my "big" outdoor screen is:

The green area is, of course, a football field, and the color bars show the size of the new screen at Cowboys Stadium. The little white rectangle in the middle represents the size of my 9x16 outdoor theater screen that suddenly feels way too small.

I wonder if anybody makes 100' blackout cloth . . .
