Playing Halo On A Humungous TV
Logan Westbrook posted on 21 Jun 2009 4:26 pm

The screen at the Dallas Cowboys new stadium is big, and I don't mean 50" big, I mean over eleven thousand square feet big. The screen measures 72' x 160', which is around 176' on the diagonal or 2100" if you prefer, and made up of thousands of LEDs. So what do you think the best use for a TV the size of four tennis courts is?

That's right, videogames. Specifically Halo 3 and Gears of War 2.

What's odd about this story though isn't the fact that someone played games on that monstrous screen, it's who played them. Something like this you'd expect to come from some gaming website or a Texas based developer trying to drum up some publicity. It's certainly not something you'd expect from the director of Jonas Brothers videos. Steve Fantone took a little time away from concert preparations to get some giant gaming done, and even to make a the above YouTube video.

Just goes to show, anyone could be a gamer these days.

So, apparently someone got bored while setting up for the Jonas Brothers concert at the Cowboys stadium, and decided to play an Xbox 360 on the huge big screen.

Youtube video included

It actually looks pretty good on the screen considering how big it is

I so want to do that. Anybody want to put together some cash and rent out the stadium if possible?

Edit- I just noticed this was already posted in the fan zone. Sorry, you can lock/merge/delete this.

Giant Cowboys Stadium LED wall caught playing Xbox 360 during downtime Update: Video!

The 72 x 160-foot LED wall at the center of the new Cowboys Stadium is certainly impressive enough when it's showing game highlights or concert footage, but no giant screen ever truly earns its credentials until it's been put to some real use: playing video games. Thankfully, Jonas Brothers video director Steve Fatone somehow pulled himself away from concert preparations to do just that earlier this week, and apparently became the first person to ever play Xbox 360 on the display in the process. As you can see above and in the gallery below, the two certainly seem to be made for each other, although it looks like the controller can get a tad touchy if you stray too far while trying to play it.

Update: Our man Steve hooked us up with a video of the rig in action -- head after the break to check it out.

I take it that junk hanging underneath the screen won't be there during football games?

I hope not because McBriar will surely hit it.

I hope so, it does not look like support structure. Speaking of support structure, I would love to see the load diagram for the installation. I hope they used some one that was more proficient then the people who installed the practice bubble.
