Dallas Cowboys Stadium Video Screen
The Dallas Cowboys’ new stadium will have 9000 square feet of screen when it is completed in 2009. There will be four video boards and will be center-hung. The two panels facing the endzones will measure 48 feet by 27 feet each and the two facing the sidelines will have dimensions of 180 feet by 50 feet. These video screens in combination will be the largest in the world. Of course, it’s not really a apples-to-apples comparison as Japan’s Tokyo Racetrack is more-or-less a single seemless screen measuring a total of 8066 square feet. The Godzillatron at the Royal-Memorial Stadium sports a total square footage of 6850.
The new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys have some impressive features. The roof is retractable with two 63000-square foot panels and opens and closes via a rack and pinion drive system in 12 minutes.
Most likely, these screens will incorporate some type of projection technology, but that’s just a guess on my part.
