    So i have been hearing Scruggs and Salisbury talking for a few months about how massive the JerryTron is the new Cowboys stadium, but damn. This thing is the 8th wonder of the world. Watching the game last night the punters kept hitting it in warmup and Tennessee's back up punter hit it. By the way, its 72 feet high, and 162 feet wide.
    kind of makes you wonder if the fans at the game are even going to watch the field.

    Damn, that thing is obscenely huge. Fitting that it's in Texas.

    They said cost $40,000,000. More than the original Texas Stadium.

    Yeah I don't get the point of going to game just to watch it on a big screen.

    Jerry went over the top with this idea.

    As a guy who can't see for sh**, I like it. However, it can't interfere with games, that's no good. I'm interested to see what happens.

    I really don't know what the big deal is here.

    Video games are all the rage, all JJ is trying to do is create a "virtual" game on the big screen.

    Plus, it eliminates any need for binoculars.

    If you can't see the live action because you're so far away, all you have to do is look at the screen.

    I gladly embrace this new future. :thumb:
