Check out the new scoreboard at Texas Memorial Stadium (University of Texas football). At 134 feet wide and 55 feet tall, this $8 Million scoreboard and sound system is the biggest HDTV in the world. The project was conceived in typical Texas fashion: rival Arkansas installed a puny 107 by 30 ft display in 2004. Texas, of course, went bigger.

The new display is also larger than the 73 by 53 ft one being installed at Texas A&M. While discussing the size comparisons, A&M’s associate athletic director for media relations, Alan Cannon, said “Content is all that matters.” There is some truth to that.
