Jerry Jones aims to make all Cowboys' fans blind by 2010

As I'm sure you know, Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys are building a big, shiny new stadium stadium to accommodate all the new fans that Pacman Jones is sure to attract. And inside this new stadium (via the Dallas Morning News) will be the world's biggest HDTV.
A horse-racing track in Tokyo built what they claimed was the world's biggest HDTV back in 2006. It was 218' x 37', totaling over 8,000 square feet.
Weak. That's the TV Jerry Jones has in his guest bedroom.
Jerry's monstrosity is 160' x 70', putting that bad-boy at over 11,000 square feet. For a little bit of perspective, if you've got a mammoth TV at home, say a 63-inch plasma job, you could fit over 750 of your televisions inside Jerry's one. The $35 million price tag is higher than than the entire price of building Texas Stadium in 1971.
I would consider sacrificing a pinky to play some XBox 360 or watching some **** on it.

 

Hopoefully it won't mame/kill any construction workers.

 

Like that crane did!

 

I drove by the new stadium site for the first time a week or so ago. The first thing that struck me was that the shape of it looks an awful lot like their current stadium. They must be going for a similar feel, but with updated ammenities.......???

I remember the one and only game I've been to at Texas Stadium (my Vikings put a serious Thanksgiving Day thumping on the Cowboys!) thinking that it sure was a tired old building compared to how it looked on television.

 

The "money shot" would make me hurl...

 

These things will be almost twice the size of the one screen at DK Royal Memorial Stadium in Austin, and that thing is freakin' HUGE..

Remember, there'll be TWO of these things at the new Texas Stadium (or whatever it's called when Jerry sells the naming rights) one facing each side of the field.

I liked Jerry's little throw-away quote.. "The advertisers will love it since the fans won't be able to escape it.."... LMAO

Gotta give the taxpayers of Arlington credit though, with things the way they are this may be the last incredible sports palace that we see for a long time.

 

speaking of the new stadium, we're building the trusses for that monster. they are some big box trusses. we got lucky the the main fab shop up in Arkansas was not going to get them done in time, so they subbed them out to us. I work for STEEL FABRICATORS of MONROE, LOUISIANA.

 

no joke....my cousin is the one that was taken by careflight thursday. Right now he wont wake up. He has some contusions in his brain that the doctors are monitoring very closely. he also has several facial fractures and a cracked eye socket, a collapsed lung and several organs are bruised and swollen. he is breathing on his own finally and did open one of his eyes this morning (the other is swollen shut)...so thats good news. This kid is a fighter....

Stealt, dont know if you know this, but he's from Burleson....

 

how is seangranger doing?

 

talked to him the other day. i guess he is fine. he's a good guy.

 

And you haven't lived until you've watched **** in HDTV on a 60" screen...

I wasn't at work that night, but from what I hear- a guy I used to work with accidentally had the **** he was not supposed to be looking at, but he as looking at- displayed on the work PC down in the rabbit hole, appear on the 300" projection screens in our control room. He either didn't know, or forgot the PC he was on, was linked to the jumbo screen (which were usually shut down after 5 PM).

So, about 50 - 75 men & women people saw what he was seeing until a MGR went in there to find out what the hell was going on.

Actually, he didn't get fired- I heard he quit a few weeks later from the embarrassment.
