Stadium Update... Please Read ESPN!!!

[Danny White]

And for what it's worth, based on my pictures from week-to-week, I think they did move the thing up a few feet.

the sign has been gone, this is from thursdays game

It was gone altogether for the first two games, poke, but it's been on top at least since the Falcons game.

Hell, even before that. I remember it being on top at the Carolina game.

This thread might be make more sense on an ESPN Board..

That's not fair. You know many of the ESPN writers come to our board looking for a story.

okay Danny thanks. i just knew it wasnt hanging down anymore.

and i agree from the picture series you did a while back it looks a little higher.

You are correct.

This is from the Giants game, and it's not there then.

But this is from the Panthers and there it is:

And this is from the most recent game:

Also, it's VERY clear from these that the board has been raised from where it started this season.

I too have noticed that the board was indeed raised a little. The first couple games, I could not see any of the 400 level behind the board from my seats. I can now see the first 2 or 3 rows of that level.

Also, I have no idea if this has been mentioned before... During the game against the Commanders, McBriar punted to the side of the board one time and it went well above the bottom of it. I sit low on the 3rd level on the Cowboys bench side, and I could see it perfectly - that ball would have hit the board if it had kicked it directly under it.

it was reported after the game he TRIED to hit it during warm ups but was unable to even hit it then. I'll look for the article and post the link here...

thats interesting, I have pictures where he hit it. Right after he talked to decamillis.

I know he hit it, because after looking at the pictures, the ball goes up and comes basically straight down.

i guess they missed that, or I am completely wrong.

I will put the pictures up tomorrow morning.

No doubt.

I figured Jerry would do this very quietly.

They absolutely did. And I'm pretty sure it's more than a few feet.

They absolutely did. And I'm pretty sure it's more than a few feet.

From where my seats are, I'm almost looking straight across at the top of the screen. There used to be 9 or 10 rows visible above the screen, now there's about 5. So it appears to me that 4 or 5 additional upper deck rows on top have been obscured by the move.

If I'm recollecting correctly, each row is about 2 feet or so higher than the previous. That' would mean it's been raised anywhere from 8-10 feet.

 

[DanTanna]

Lechler punted the ball 69 and 67 yards in the air and didn't hit it. I guess it won't be hit al season by anyone.

Just to update Here are the pictures I took that make me believe he hit the board. My camera wasnt fast enough to keep up with the ball, these are the pics I have that are clear....But you can see from the trajectory changing the ball hit and went down....also the player catching the punts...I think it was gary russell never even moved and the ball bounced about 15 yards in front of him.
