The saying that everything is bigger in Texas may be disputed in some cases, but not when it comes to scoreboards. The Lone Star State has the distinction of having the largest scoreboard in the world since the end of 2009. The Dallas Cowboys football team opened their new stadium to fans last fall, and this stadium includes the largest scoreboard in the world. Everyone who has seen this scoreboard has been very impressed, and with the massive size that is no wonder. The new stadium will have scoreboards which are installed close to one hundred feet in the air, nestled among the upper deck, and each scoreboard is huge. The largest scoreboard in the world measures one hundred and sixty one feet by seventy one feet, and cover more than eleven thousand feet with a single scoreboard.
Before the new stadium for the Dallas Cowboys in Texas, the city of Tokyo, Japan had the largest scoreboard in the world, and these were less than nine thousand square feet in size. The new record holder tops this by more than two thousand square feet. The Cowboys are not the only sports team that has tried to achieve the title of the largest scoreboard in the world. The New York Yankees fell short with one that measured one hundred and three feet by fifty eight feet. Another attempt was the one by the University of Texas in the year 2006, with a scoreboard that reached one hundred and thirty four feet by fifty five feet.
The largest scoreboard in the world did not come cheap according to the executive vice president of the Dallas Cowboys, Stephen Jones. According to him the new scoreboards cost more money than what the original stadium for the team did when it was first built almost half a century ago. Quality scoring equipment is combined on a massive scale, and it adds a unique look and feel to the new home for the team. Fans will travel from all over the country, and the world, to get a glimpse of the largest scoreboard in the world.
