Screens to low in Big D

What could be worse than the LF wall standing 318ft from homeplate at Yankee Stadium? Read on...

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The kick is up — and into the video screen.

Tennessee Titans rookie punter A.J. Trapasso's boot in the third quarter of the opening game at the new Cowboys Stadium hit one of the 60-yard long high-definition video screens that hang about 90 feet above the field.

Trapasso pointed up at the board when the ball dropped straight down. Officials were slow to realize what happened until Titans coach Jeff Fisher threw his red challenge flag to get their attention.

Trapasso and veteran Titans punter Craig Hentrich both hit the screen during pregame warmups, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says there are no plans to raise to the massive screens any higher.

I imagine it would cost a good buck to move those 'titantrons' higher than 90 feet but at what point does the NFL step in and pressure Jones to make that happen. In the meantime, ground rules have to be established for punts hitting the screens.

ESPN - If the Cowboys are going to alter the video screen hanging from the middle of their new stadium, a source claims it'll cost them $2 million.

Titans punter A.J. Trapasso hit the board in Friday's preseason game, the first-ever game played at Cowboys Stadium.

Dallas owner Jerry Jones insists that the entire building, including the 60 by 25 yard television screen was OKed by the NFL.

The NFL is meeting today to discuss this.
