Cowboy stadium shakedown cruise

Posted By Max Brantley on Sat, Aug 22, 2009 at 9:35 AM

So a punter banged the gigantic TV screen that hangs over the field in the new $1.2 billion Dallas Cowboy stadium yesterday. Jerry Jones says he doesn't intend to change a thing. Just kick it over when it happens.

The reserve Tennessee Titan punter who hit the screen observed:

"With the size of that TV, there's not going to be a whole lot of room above it," he said. "I think after a billion dollars and the way you watch people kick, somebody could have figured that math out a little bit."
