Yes it will. I bet half of football fans don't even know who plays in reliant stadium.

277.17' (W) x 52.49' (H) (ratio = 5.3)

The aspect ratio would cause the picture to be completely distorted on a single screen with those dimensions.

Jerry's screen is 160' (W) x 72' (H) (ratio = 2.22)

HDTV aspect ratio 16/9 (1.78)

SDTV aspect ration 4/3 (1.33)

That's what I was thinking. I don't think they will have a single screen display. More like the main picture in the middle with other things on each side. (ads, game clock, down distance) things like that.

But can you buy panties in their stadium? That's the real question.

That sounds correct. If you divide the width by 3, then you get a 16/9 aspect ratio.

That would be like me putting 3, 32" TVs side-by-side and claiming that it is bigger than someones 84" TV.

The Texans are on their way up-strong at almost every position, while the Cowboys have averaged a .500 record over the last 17 seasons & haven't shown any inclination of improving under Jerry Jones.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Jerry Jones fan, and I'm glad that Stephen Jones shows some reasonable talent as a GM. But as far as caring about which teams are better than Dallas doesn't interest me in the slightest.

It's Dallas Cowboys or nothing, no other sports or teams interest me.

The Texans? That's all they could come up with?

Matches the creativity of their coach.

Didn't Dallas start out as the Texans?

See how long that lasted...

Actually there was a team already in the AFL called the Dallas Texans. After the Cowboys came into the league (First working name was the Rangers but changed before they ever played a game) the Texans tried to compete for fans with the Cowboys but failed so the owner Lamar Hunt moved the team to to KC and they became the Chiefs.

I read their comments.

Texans fans are delusional if they really believe they are going to the Super Bowl.

They will choke like all Houston teams do.

Kubiak doesn't have it and Schaub definitely doesn't.

Brady or Peyton Manning will chew them up in the playoffs.

Can you see over to the other side of stadium if you aren't in the lower bowl?

Didn't a kicker hit it?

On the flip side, looks like the Texans season tickets are going to go up again.

Somebody has to pay for it.

for one, if you are in the nose bleed section, why would you need to see the other side of the stadium? wouldn't you be looking at the field?

not one kicker has ever hit it in the regular season nor superbowl. A kicker did hit it once in preseason the very first year and it was VERY obvious he was aiming for it to have his name attached to it in the media. Why not, it was the preseason.

The original will always be in the Cowboys Stadium.

For visual reference, here's a comparison. Jerry's screen being in blue.



One is a TV. The other is a long banner that plays video.

Texans screen looks like a panoramic screen then, or maybe 2:35/1 cinema.

I don't know what they are going to do because Reliant is already built out.

No way greedy McNair is going to eliminate some of those high dollar seats to watch the mediocre Texans.

It's really hilarious. They really want a rivalry with Dallas so badly and Dallas fans hardly very give them the time of day.

Houston is 10 years old, the only thing close to a rivalry they have is a hatred for the Colts from getting whooped by Peyton for so many years
