Are the screens outside the stadium going to play the game?

My friend says they are going to, but I could have sworn I read on here some time ago that they are not. It really would make for the greatest tailgating experience ever if they did though.

I think they ditched the idea of having the screens on the outside of the stadium, so they just have big, empty rectangles now.

It would be like a drive-in.

Jerry could charge $200 per car to watch the game from the parking lots.

oh really? how strange.. seems like Jerry wouldn't want big, wasted rectangles messing up the look of his stadium.. it's too bad, that would have been awesome..

Not doubting your word, Adam, but I find this hard to believe. This may be true for this season, but I've got to believe that somewhere down the line, those video screens will be put to use, even if it's just to show the network's pregame show to the fans in the parking lots.

the big rectangles built onto the stadium are not video boards.
they were supposed to be but for now they are not.

in each end zone plaza, outside, there are large video screens where
people can mingle, spend money and watch the game.

heres some pics from yesterday of whats being set up.

i believe i read that there were some legal issues regarding showing the
game on those big rectangles but dont quote me on that.

I would assume it has to do with the distraction it would be to drivers in the area. I could see quite a few wrecks on gamedays if people are driving and watching football.

Oh, and sorry for literally quoting you on that.
