World's Biggest HDTV Scoreboard

We at Manifesto deserve a late pass on this, but Jerry Jones has lived
up to the slogan 'everything's bigger in Texas'. Last night the Dallas
Cowboys held their first home game in the new Cowboys Stadium, which
actually opened in August. The centerpiece without question is the
Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision Scoreboard hanging from the roof.
