the thing about the astros board, only safecos is more impressive. the boards at kaufman stadium and citizens bank may be bigger, but they have that early 2000's big screen feel 4:3 aspect ratio thing going on.. also i believe the jags are scheduled to have the largest boards in the NFL.. aparently the boards are going to be worth more than the actul franchise..:grin:

They should find a way to permanently light up the roof in different colors at night... especially for the prime time games (where you know the roof will be closed, regardless of the weather). I know they do this with the Super Dome and it definitely improves the appearance of that dumpy place. Gives Reliant a good look... compared to absolutely nothing being done to spruce up its appearance currently.

I'm thinking they'll probably just recreate the scoreboard (ie tons of ads) during the game except now they can have full screen replays.
Damn, the deminsions look a LOT better than I thought they would. And that red glow looks pretty cool, I'd bet that effect wasn't something that they were expecting.
For the most part there will be ads showing with the video in the middle, but the pump up graphics, touchdown celebrations, highlights, and team entrances will be awesome on the full wide screen video. Cant wait to see it in action!
