I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
Yes, I'm drinking.
With all the standing room, close to 100K can watch.
The Rangers' Ballpark, the Cowboy's Stadium, Six Flags Theme Park, and Hurricane Harbvor theme park are all in the same ~5 square mile area. A few miles south, you have University of Texas at Arlington. A few miles east, you have the one and only General Motors Truck Assembly Plant.
Arlington is NOT a fun traffic city.
Some information from the stadium magazine (click the pictures for the super sized, readable versions)

to bad the kickers CAN'T kick the ball down the middle of the field without hitting that giant TV.
I thought 90 feet was a bit low, myself...and i dont even watch football.

That's going to be expensive to raise.
if they can raise it at all.
Wouldn't you have thunk that they would have done statistical analysis on kicking heights BEFORE they built the stadum? I mean, it only cost $1,100,000,000.......

I would have thunk but all Jerry thunks about is $$$$$$$$$.They said at the end of the game tonight that it's going to have to be raised some before regular season starts.

They said last night that the NFL rules state that there has to be 85' of clearance and that the 90' is completely acceptable.
I think the punter just wanted to see if he could hit it.

I believe Ray Guy of the Oakland Raiders did just that. In 1976, Guy hit the video screen at the Superdome during the Pro Bowl, which was positioned much higher than 90 feet over the field.I think the punter just wanted to see if he could hit it.

Update: Mike Periera, the NFL's director of officiating, told The Los Angeles Times that the league will look into the problem this week. The concern is that a punter could intentionally try to hit the video screen in order to run out the clock at the end of a half. When a down is replayed, the clock doesn't reset.
"We haven't talked at all about time being put on the clock," Periera said. "The only thing we've talked about really is the do-over of the play. We've never talked about resetting the clock back to where it was. That's obviously something we're going to have to talk about. And that may be what we arrive at.
I would say that it's a big enough issue that we're going to have to address it with the competition committee here probably sometime this week to figure out what direction we want to go."

It will stay the way it is,,,until a punt hits it and the Cowboys somehow lose a game because of it.
Then just listen to Jerry scream.

It is a nice looking stadium though. For over $1 billion, I guess it should be.
A stadium like this is exactly why many countries hate us so much.
