I wonder if they paint it on so they can change the logo for other games. College and stuff.

They have different fields they install for those.

Anyone know why the Star is not being stiched on?

i have seen on another forum that the star is installed, and according to
a poster there, it is the Original Star from Texas Stadium.

i cant confirm it but i believe the original poster over there. heres a pic
he took when he took a tour late this week.

How can that star be the original one from Texas Stadium? I sort of doubt that. It's much darker, matching the Cowboys Stadium navy endzones, rather than the royal blue star from Texas Stadium.

Maybe they pulled it up and painted it, and put it back down?

I found an article on the field. It has 3 different configurations - one for NCAA, one for Cowboys, and another one. They can be replaced in 48hrs.

Generally speaking, sound waves travel in whatever direction their source is facing and depending on the angle at which they hit a surface, they can bounce in any number of directions.
In terms of the stadium, people yelling and screaming generally aren't going to be looking at the hole in the roof when they yell so the sound waves will probably be reflecting across the stadium like you said.

However, there will be some loss of noise with the roof open. With as much as the stadium that is covered, it probably won't be a lot. Definitely won't be enough to declare any sort of advantage.

Few days ago I said they should keep the roof closed but after taking another look at the roof and how much of the stadium is covered permanently, I really don't think it's going to matter.

100K+ people should be loud no matter what.

Off topic but since we are waiting for game time I have a question after seeing the star pic.
How would you feel if T.O. ends up playing in our stadium, scores and runs to the star. :laugh2: Personally, at this point in his career (or later) it would crack me up.
