From last nights' game. I don't watch football, I just thought this was an interesting 'shot' :P
I think their HD is skewed wide. The faces look fat, the girls look short and trolly. And big-thighed and big-assed. I think they're actually prettier than that.
It's kind of bizarre that people gather in a huge stadium for football and end up staring at some honker movie screen of something happening in front of them.
160 ft X 72 ft, 1080p resolution. From what I've heard, it's better in person than the picture above represents.

Yes, especially considering how on Sunday morning many of the fans will be in a sexually repressed church being told to repent for their sins of the flesh.

High fructose corn syrup and Aspartame works wonders doesn't it???
"The real deal is this: the royalty controlling the court, the ones with the power, the ones with the ability to make a difference, with the ability to change our course, the ones who will live in infamy if we pass the tipping points, are the captains of industry, CEOs in fossil fuel companies such as EXXON/Mobil, automobile manufacturers, utilities, all of the leaders who have placed short-term profit above the fate of the planet and the well-being of our children." - James Hansen

Well, they can lust after the three-legged blond cheerleaders on the Jumbotron and then repent of it only 12 hours later. Maybe have sex with the wife in the interim between sin and repentance/absolution.
Couple Christens Dallas Cowboy's Stadiums New Bathroom Stalls
Some of you who follow my infrequently updated Twitter account may have seen a report from a friend about a video of two people doing the North Texas rumpy- pump in the bathroom at the MNF game. It has arrived. (NSFW)
Don't be too alarmed it's only three seconds of pretty standard grunt-heavy missionary sex on the bathroom floor, nabbed by this citizen journalist who, along with many others at Dallas Stadium last night, witnessed this display. My friend, who was at the game, said many Cowboys fans were startled by the odd noises coming from the Hall of Fame box level bathroom stall, where a couple clad in Michael Irvin jerseys were "totally banging" at the end of the 4th quarter when the Cowboys had pretty much wrapped it up. The commotion soon became very, very public and many fans equipped with cellphone cameras ran into the stall to snap pictures. Luckily, our guy had video and stuck his hand over the stall like a true professional voyeur and caught a a few mighty thrusts during Irvin on Irvin.
After the couple was finished (my friend says this was done via hand, for some reason so old school) the two people walked out from the bathroom and were greeted by raucous applause. One onlooker yelled "See you on YouTube!" and the happy man graciously replied "Bring it on!" Of course he did.
Now, whether Jerry Jones will take it upon himself to fuck-proof the roomy Hall of Fame bathroom stalls from here on out is yet to be seen, but since he has Cowboys cage dancers and plenty of other carnival-like attractions going on, a little public fornication probably won't faze him too much.
Dallas Cowboy Stadium, ladies and gentlemen fun for the whole family.

Hmmm...I'd be dubious over the claimed resolution.
However, it does explain why they look too wide.
160x72 yields an aspect ration of 2.22. Wide-screen HD is supposed to be 16:9 ratio which is 1.76. So the image is 26% wider than it should be, making the girls look porky. The video was shot with standard widescreen HD 16:9 (1.76) cameras but displayed on a 2.21 theater-type display.
We should be able to reverse that distortion in the browser by narrowing the image.
This picture corrects the Jumbotron (well, Mitsubishi-made) screen distortion.
They need to splurge for the theatrical cameras that can capture the wider screen, not just squish this to fill their screen. They could also use the same standard cameras but just apply proper screen zoom to it.
