Everything Is Bigger in Texas

Jerry shows off his new toy.
Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are going to host a pre-season football game in the new Cowboys Stadium tomorrow night. The new $1.2 Billion Cowboys stadium. This thing is chock full of tech. It has the usual bells and whistles, retractable roof, bars, wi-fi, blah, blah, blah. What I’m most excited about are the 2 high definition video boards that run all the way from one twenty yard line to the other. These things are 25 yards tall and the equivalent to about “2000 52-inch TVs”.
