http://stadium.dallascowboys.com/ Click on video board section once there.

From that section...
Hanging approximately 90 feet above the field from the roof structure, the innovative video center spans between the 20-yard lines and features four individual boards- two facing the sidelines, 160 feet wide and 72 feet tall, and two facing the end zones, 53 feet wide and 30 feet tall, totaling over 25,000 square feet of display area other in the world, a center-hung video board.

Can not tell you what the average height the ball achieves from punts, however I do remember reading that the video board was well above the area and that it would not effect punts or kickoffs.

Hope that helps.

Ray Guy could hit the scoreboard at the Superdome in New Orleans (or was it the Astrodome? Probably both.) but I think they have moved it even higher than that one.

I remember something from training camp 2 years ago where Jerry had McBriar punt as high as he could so they could figure out how high to hang the scoreboard.

It could probably be hit given a freak occurance, but I doubt if it's something that is going to be a frequent problem.

It would be hilarious if after spending 1.1 billion dollars that all the engineers managed to overlook something as obvious as that, I wouldn't count on it though. I wouldn't worry about it it's not a fixed object that cant be raised or lowered.
